After the Crash
from Skipping Stones by Forging Reverie
lyrics
It's time to reconcile for chronic amnesia
You're just the shotgun-shell for the job
You melt me down like cast iron
Then pour me out like concrete foundation...
I met you on the inside (Before you had a name...)
Could you really be (the paradigm?)
My soliloquy...? - My soliloquy...?
Buried deep in all you are
Fermenting my every fear
Potentiality, so far yet so near...
I'm the moth and you're the windshield
I am splattered paint across your floor
You've laid me out like I was hit by an eighteen-wheeler!
And I cannot remember who we are...
Now you're on the outside (I am born today!)
But, could you really be (the paradigm?)
My soliloquy...? - My soliloquy...?
In a state of shock after the crash
I've forgotten how to think, at last
The moment, I remember, standing still and moving so fast!
Nebulous consciousness
Vivid dreams
Memories unflexed
Will atrophy
Cerebral skies grow cloudy...
Potential signs design me...
Deceptive vision
Ignites reverie
Conceptive attrition
Sets me free
Again - again - again...
I see you on the outside (Now that I'm awake!)
But could you really be (the paradigm?)
My soliloquy...? - My soliloquy...?
Collision, redefined
My own paradigm...
The pain is a reminder
That I am alive...
You're just the shotgun-shell for the job
You melt me down like cast iron
Then pour me out like concrete foundation...
I met you on the inside (Before you had a name...)
Could you really be (the paradigm?)
My soliloquy...? - My soliloquy...?
Buried deep in all you are
Fermenting my every fear
Potentiality, so far yet so near...
I'm the moth and you're the windshield
I am splattered paint across your floor
You've laid me out like I was hit by an eighteen-wheeler!
And I cannot remember who we are...
Now you're on the outside (I am born today!)
But, could you really be (the paradigm?)
My soliloquy...? - My soliloquy...?
In a state of shock after the crash
I've forgotten how to think, at last
The moment, I remember, standing still and moving so fast!
Nebulous consciousness
Vivid dreams
Memories unflexed
Will atrophy
Cerebral skies grow cloudy...
Potential signs design me...
Deceptive vision
Ignites reverie
Conceptive attrition
Sets me free
Again - again - again...
I see you on the outside (Now that I'm awake!)
But could you really be (the paradigm?)
My soliloquy...? - My soliloquy...?
Collision, redefined
My own paradigm...
The pain is a reminder
That I am alive...
