A monument that crumbled into dust
We stand, we stand
In the lingering shadows it left
But it's gone now
Conquered by

By passages in books.

And that’s if you believe them words

Lessons warnings left unheeded 
Footpath trodden bare by passage
Missteps bound to be repeated

I'm surprised you have lasted this demise by passages and lines in passages 
About crimes and damages
So, cries and bandages are the only

Now stay in your seats please as we travel through an alternate reality

I'm not afraid

Soul to soul, A kiss and a sigh
Sawed in half, by the passage of time
Halfway home, from a window you see
Chains and bars, but I am

And we will earn our passage by making sure they get there

But why should we care what they say
I did not sign up anyway
That I was born

At this point in life
I should genuflect
To be so blessed
By the passage of time

Blessed by your beautiful lives
Dancing parallel to mine
Until you

Shaped like a sculpture

Drawn by my history
Erased from my memory
Told by a tale called life

Lost in all directions

Leaving seeds of evil by its passage

Spirits visit by opioid passage
I'm so tired of this
Stupid fucking trip
I need to detox
In the fucking tent
I should have never
Opened grandpas

When you love somebody
And then you don't get it back
When you really want it

Yea

Time is beautiful thing
It numbs all of our pain
Just by the passage
