I thought today was the end
It felt like a drug
I had to slam myself and stare
Hypnotic one
Why must it always be that one day can change the rest
That stricken feeling is so short-lived
And only the throb is left

He sang "she's running out again"
Thunder in the sun
All at once it's on you and it's gone
Virtual and done
You never know what the power of a particle will cost
I can see that the death of this is my most colossal loss

Paralyzing as a vision ethereal
All alone and awe-struck
In the downpour and the lull
It bore an accidental resemblance to my life
It was celestial speech
Promise prophesied
