Moment Of Clarity

Disturb my peace
Shake me awake
Fetch me every second
Of love and life I've lost

A myriad
Of memory
It's more painful to perceive this ghostly reality in a moment of clarity

So I exist perfectly preserved in moments now reduced to just an instant thick
The endless nights and time-smeared days where no-one else can see
These moments of clarity
That waste themselves on me

All that I've seen
All I've achieved
Unrecognised
Like those who love me
I behold the prison that I am in
Until once again my soul's set drifting

Cling to vision 'til fog returns
And drags me back into my ghastly reality
A jet black wave breaks over me
I tumble underneath my moment of clarity
Why couldn't you let me be?
Cruel moment of clarity.
