Space between thoughts

We're lonelier tonight
Like we've never been held against a common light
Silently basking in the glow
Suspension asks our mind to remember
A frail flame against the dark
Flickers softly though its brilliance is perceived

We fortify walls against lives not our own
A stranger, a neighbor, a thief in the night
Blind arrogance steps on the bleeding heart caught in our throat

Fed torrential lies bathed in blindness
We share this disillusioned time
Gathering fuel for our fires
Obsessed with all that's mine
Souls were bartered and spent gravely cast aside
Left to the vultures circling in a barren sky
Splash of stone, sends ripples to upset the surface

Stand up, we're all struggling
Wondering when we'll be one again
Nothing here is separate
Scratch at the surface, you're infinite

Guided far from safety
(Such arrogance is a waste of breathe)
Left abandoned and alone without a hand to help steady our feet
(Such arrogance is a waste of breathe)
Or humble legs to take us home

Like a blight that contains rampant insolence
Sabotage the self who's ego had been fed
Face the stare that dwells within sight not your own
That reflection yearns to return to the whole
What was whole
We've been fools

Stand up, we're all struggling
Wondering when we'll be one again
Nothing here is separate
Scratch at the surface, you're infinite

Sharpening blades to the tune of blessing
The skin that was wounded
Viewing our quarrels at great distance
Casting such reckless abandon
Erodes the ground where we're standing
Wondering when we'll be one again
The hour is late, yet to save any grace
Left recall back a time we were one
