Mutual Ruin

(album: Where Myth Becomes Memory - 2022)

Intention within
The elements of harnessing
Igniting a spark, to burn right through
Look inward, draw it out
To accept and to disguise
An age I've never known

A need to break things down
To borrow, steal, transform
Not prepared for the truth
So cut it loose

Fateful as a near miss
Fatal as the next chapter
The future and the past
Between guilt and innocence
What if it changes too much?
Causing a shift in my existence
The line of least resistance

A deepened commitment
To faith in our essence
The future and the past
The lightness and the dark

An age I've never known, borrowed

Spirit in sympathy
The nature of design
To unite or divide
What we are internalised

Searching for the steady sense
Displace the parts of what was left
Laid out in plain sight
The darkness and the light

How we've grown
An age I've never known, borrowed
Borrowed

This is the place, this is the final show
I won't give in but I must let it go
Counting all hours down to now
To climb up to the peak
The view of what could be
Bring the light where you land
Don't forget to look back
Sometimes
