Collapse, Retract.

You see, how unfair life is?

'Giving lemons, making lemonades', going down the drain

Leaving you paralysed

Numb 

Dumbfounded

All at strike of a midnight

You see, isn't that how it's always been?

Or is this new?

This time

The place

This midnight

Deformating within self

Crushing the dawn

Into an uncomfortable silence

You see, you know that's how life's always been

Pushing into darkness today

Limelight tomorrow

So take the string,

Hold it tight,

Pull it through, 

And create symphonies.
