The Absolute

In every our every day This chosen solitude is gone The pressure coursing through your every nerve Will rise and fade away There's madness to this method Conformity now on display When confidence become the enemy In time our questions lose their meaning Wish it away and it comes back to you somehow A loneliness denied Our shallow pool of wisdom reflects upon our innocent face Between attacks of pure anxiety You see humanity slip away You force the lie to be an absolute To where there will be no return There is a face on the surface I don't ever want to see There is a light above the water That is not supposed to be If there is truth in this resistance I don't ever want to know

It gets ahead of us Blind ambition meets our desperation It gets ahead of us It leads a charge to where we should not go It makes no sense to me Our willingness to hold on to belief It got away from us The thought of understanding what's around Have we gone too far this time? To argue from authority in this case It just got away I feel we've lost our place in time It's getting closer now The fear that we have held off for so long It's getting closer now To where we know there can be no return It makes no sense to me What has been set in motion here today It makes no sense anymore Was it too little, too late or too much too fast? This time we've have gone too far
