Awake, unfazed
Morning light tells of the dawning day
Just like any other day
Brush off sleep's touch
Clear midnight's haze
There's nothing extraordinary here
A flaccid world, unfit, unclear
Desperate for something more
Something more than getting by
Empty faces on the sidewalk
Listless and limping to a lie
Of a bright and pleasant future
Of a blue and cloudless sky
A phantom whisper sounds deceiving
It brings in the question "why?"
We work until we are unable
Then locked away until we die
But then it happened
Everything changed in but an instant
A violent burst of brilliant colour
Somehow close and somehow distant
From a whisper
To a scream
To a hoarse, distorted laugh
There is no hope of restitution
There is no ever going back
