Glimpse

I just caught a glimpse
How the fuck did I miss that?
Thinking this was it
Writing from a fool's hand
Going over scripts
Misled by a new land
Thinking this one's it
Then you catch a glimpse
Wasting both of our time
Filed under thought-crime
But I still run my mouth across the line
What did you do when you lost your mind?
It's getting harder to find
But I'll keep looking online
Someday I'm bound to hear that reply
Some explanation from the divine
Not sure when I slipped
Lost track of the times I told myself I'd quit
Leaning on my pride and following the script
Every single time
I know I'm far from it
And as I start to slip
Your pupils
Dilated they reflect my hopes
Heartbeat racing as I scry for more
Realizations from those crystal balls
You're wasting both of our time
Filed under thought-crime
But I still run my mouth across the line
What did you do when you lost your mind?
It's getting harder to find
But I'll keep looking online
Someday I'm bound to hear that reply
Some explanation from the divine
Face to face one last time
A solemn silent goodbye
There's nothing left for us to revive
This barren space where we still reside
It's getting harder to find
The quietude that's inside
Today I finally got that reply
An invitation
