The Whole

Lift away the veil Unbroken shade over all Now that it's long gone An emptiness carried on The bittersweet taste of fate This is I, mine alone Infinity's grip pulling me If only I could end the war They're given all that I long for Living out my every dream Under siege for future days The shadow of love cast its haze Glooms upon my closing scene This is I, mine alone Eternity's grasp holding me Truest abandon "Whatever" has come to me The condition From the cradle to the grave Hands grab for the walls The last chance at lucidity We walked through this world Shattering time behind us A hollow existence Looking down at what you missed You were the fulcrum between my heart and soul One final dream about you The one that taught me all I knew The beauty that I could behold From fourteen trips to eons old And still it never made sense My war, the lord may understand Yet here a standstill, years away I cannot purge you out of me A broken corpse, withered in ground (You gave more than) Consuming me and tearing down (My life was worth) The pinnacles that we built (Now I fade out) Sinking as the pedals wilt (Unbind the curse) My consciousness is closing in (I gaze back now) The sinking vessel, drowning (Upon my days) The years of wasted suffering (I look through you) Never to be whole again (Burning, in haze) With so much of me to give away (The air falls still) Now a broken soldier's final day (My eyes fell blind) A lifetime built out of disdain (In final peace) A world that can't be whole again (Infinite Sky)
