“Goodbye” is so much closer than “Hello”

The lines we know caught in undertow

Looking out but never in

Thought I could not lose

But never tried to win

Preoccupied, cells solidify

And time slips by across a great divide

If the mirror never lies

Suddenly, I think I might be terrified!

I am the center of everything, I am the invincible man

I’m the core!

Cancer's in the realm of impossible, this is the impossible scan

Furthermore…

I cannot die before my father, daughter

Treacherous mutation taking over

Center, how can this be real?

Stuck here in awaiting and wondering

Watching as my world topples down

Domino!

Synapse and security snapping

My surety collapsing to ground

Now, what do I know?

There is no pretense nor deceit

Nor faking at the gates of hell

Just raw existence

Exposed and unconcealed

Cast out and wandering

Cast out and wandering

Surfing the hourglass

Unbound

Self-serving royalty, suspicious loyalty

King who would be clinging to a plastic crown

Forty days in the enigma spins me ‘round

In the land of the uncertain, I am found

I am a grain of sand, just a grain of sand

All of my arrogance crumbling down

Beauty and frailty, beauty and frailty

Wonders I could not see surround

Forty days in the enigma brings me ‘round

In the land of the uncertain, I am found

Forty days in the enigma brought me ‘round

In this land of the uncertain, I am found

From a state of hypnotized

I’m awakened, I begin arising

Unexpected, I received the gift of death

Broken open, now I’m free and amplified

The fall and rise

That writes our course of life

Toward open mind

The blessing in demise

Frailty and beauty, I have known

In the land of the uncertain

I am home

Frailty and beauty, I have known

In this land of the uncertain

I am home

I am home

I am home

I am home
