Elevated by definition
I've never been a stranger to folly
I've been clambering for purchase
And given none
Venerating every endeavour
To defy the baser mechanics
Why would there be an exception
For us?
When nothing ever lasts
You double down upon your position
Ever zealous in your denial
Still extrapolating meaning
With fervour
Slinging around the same response for centuriеs
I'm getting tired of all thesе rebuttals
Why do we keep on entertaining
The assumption
That it should be fair?
There's no evading it
The inescapable reality
But even in my bleakest moments I find myself
Relinquishing my bitterness
Suddenly it comes to me
Nothing's what it seems to be
And all of my apathy
Is dissipating like the wind
If everything will turn to rust
And none of this was owed to us
Then all we experience
Will have to be enough
So I'll cling to that instead
Beyond imagining (imagining)
The distances untravelled (untravelled)
I'll embrace these limitations
And stop trying to escape them
I'm free
And all you'll ever be
Is forever indifferent to me...
