negative standards - xi lyrics

gripping onto a narrow margin, clinging onto slivers of hope, pleading for comfort, for something, for anything to give a moment of respite
bottling your tonics of redemption, pushing your promises of eternities
the light at the end of the tunnel, the treasure, by design, ungraspable
the cruelest trick: to manufacture the shackles with such short links
why must i yearn for a someday?
why must i wait for the end to begin to find a framework, a logic, to the corporeal form we find ourselves in?
the claim of our importance in a cosmic scale, beyond our molds as bags of water and electricity
the insult of the endless threat to tow the line
the concert of faith in a vengeful eye to see each day the way that we fail, the way that we pray, the way that we act, the roles that we hold
i react to the weight
i contract from the heat
i reflect on the words
i recoil from the implications
i retract from the tomes
i turn from the guides
to celebrate an unknown, to plagiarize for a settled claim in the great expanse of the rescued dusk, to surrender
ruined halls and altars, halted bowing heads, lives wasted straining upwards
there is no beyond
