Blank Diary Entry

(album: The Ultra Vivid Lament - 2021)

In a garden full of locusts
Pain was a crying man
Wrapped in several kinds of skin
Seeking consolation in machines

Stuck in a hole of collapsing time
Locked into solitude by body state and mind
A silent tension drags and weakens
In a hollow room the darkness deepens
The curve steepens

Just another blank diary entry
The emptiness tells its own story
Blank diary entry
A slow painful goodbye to glory goodbye to glory

A gentle murmuration concealed to all but me
Estranged sad and softened
In a low sky by the sea patiently

Disciplined desires and toxic agendas
Polished by light yet still half remembered
Fatigued tired ragged and distressed
No way out of this unholy mess I must confess

Blank diary entry the emptiness tells its own story
Blank diary entry a slow painful goodbye to glory
Goodbye to glory
