Dark Tranquillity

A human force stronger than logic
beyond the focus and the grander ideas
one microcosmos in this wretched piece of hell
distant memories of what empathy we felt

no revolution
in what they must overthrow
in on a secret we all know
The need that is our enemy

I don´t ever want to see you
doing all the same things as me
Don’t ever let this be you
knowing what it is that drives me

It’s all in the future said with one foot in the grave
all in the plan of what we never could achieve

no satisfaction
we excuse ourselves from progress
by post-altering our motives
Stories set to match
whatever beat that drives the impulse
whatever tune that carries through
what’s in a soul that rattles empty
in this one reality too few

Our reach is never wider
than the depth of what we grasp

a vicious curse on all that we partake
in/side the conflict where no one is the wiser

a space invaded
a face evaded
my space invaded

Selfish doesn’t begin to cover
the sense in this utopia of one
to escape the argument
to put another filter on

I don’t ever want to see you
doing all the same things as me
Don’t ever let this be you
knowing what it is that drives me
