Document - Assemblage 23

In stillness

A silent weight

Pausing as the minutes each evaporate

A desire

To leave a scar

To raise a voice from within the dark

Decaying

Cascading

Existence falls apart

Around me Within me So I must leave my mark

CHORUS

This is a document

To prove that I was here

This is a document

To prove I was at all

And when my voice ceases to be Will the echo still ring loudly?

And when there’s nothing left of me Will my memory still go on?

A flicker

Transitory state

An echo of an instance that burns a way

A moment

A shard of time

A solitary thread that threatens to unwind

Decaying

Cascading

Existence falls apart

Around me Within me So I must leave my mark

(CH)

Distant

An approaching age

When this document falls beneath another’s gaze

Too late

We have lost the dawn

The signal’s loud and clear, but the transmitter’s gone

Decaying

Cascading

Existence falls apart

Around me Within me So I must leave my mark

(CHx2)
