some things will remain undone
while silently others conclude
bound in circles, knots to hold us all
tying my thoughts and idly standing by
waiting for another day --
silence those dark vultures
keeping within lost noise

holding together pining gratitude
altogether dust forms on the horizon
sunrise bending light reflecting back
the clouds casting shadows of ignorance
nothing past forlorn, together with you
as I'm watching knowing, bleeding
nothing will finish all alone
time passes by with strings attached
and the end draws near with light unknown

quiet ignorance or loud distaste
the future unlocks doors and windows
like everything has done for a lifetime
and no one will see me as I die
but waiting for nothing to complete itself
and alone is all we'll be grating on success
but interfering, and moving, and tying
round and round with a yearning lie

and keeping together, forever we'll see
the sun comes up with its knowing gaze
the dark skies pass, as i am with you
i can feel us bleed.
in an instant touch, as a future goes
wasting time here, and completing unfinished.
