Disjointed context   The words were merely sounds   Watching as the buildings   Slowly crumbled to the ground     Thoughts never rendered   Lie dying by the road   Last breath drawn endlessly   Collapsing into smoke     CH:   Struggling to break free   From life's inequities   The suicide of reason   Becomes the drowning season     Grim repetition   Dour features form a frown   The clock's hand reverberates   Throughout the empty town     De-evolution   Oxidizing the past   The present is uncertain   The future never lasts     (CH)     Pre-emptive reflex   Split-second sanctity   Repeating prayers that somehow   Never got received    (CH)
