In ambient asylums

They live, sane as I

These emptiest apologies

Decay now and die

In fire and security

You flash through my brain

My all-intact identity

When I was losing my mind

That was all I hoped to retain

The towers of the universe

Align way up high

The sky completes their symphony

If they can measure the hours

Why oh why can't I?

It's only forever now, a matter of time

It's only another wall as yet unclimbed

Am I still the sum of nothing

Misguided, suddenly drained?

If I'm about this new corrosion

The slow emotional rate of change

Have I shown an easy target

Destructions that follow so well?

I rail against that ultimatum

Delivered in this untidy hell

Alone inside the passive house

Disaffected, looking back

When time left no memory

No dark circumference that I could see till now

It's only forever

Immortal remains contain who we are

We burned like the sun at night

We realigned the stars

It's only forever now, no time at all

It's only forever
