practice devastation.
play it all out in your mind.
feel the light as it hits your face
of the apocalypse streamlined. envision obliteration.
every last detail.
blast wind blows, breathe it in, let it go
a tragedy that’s so big it cannot fail.
I’ve done it so many times
I’ve got the future memorized.
I can feel the ache in their eyes
the mourning’s amplified
so imagine my surprise
I was not prepared for this no
I had not expected this so
I must try to cope with wasted
time killed by an agonizing lie
a hypothetical horror show
but now there’s beauty all around me
what’s happening?
now I’m left with all this lightness
now I’m left with all this lightness
left out here with all this lightness
left out here with all this grace
imagine my surprise.
I thought my heart would break
I thought it would break but it started healing,
It was more than I could take
so I gave it everything
I thought I’d never wake.
it got so dark that I started dreaming,
It was more than I could take
so I gave it all I had left.
I was not prepared for this no
I had expected this now
I must try to cherish all this time
lose your life and you will find it waiting in her merciful eyes
all sins absolved
and they will never look back
master without his master plan.
