DERELICTION

Some of us are lost
And some of us are found.
Wandering through a geography of alien noise,
The next day’s tracks
Erasing the ones that came before.
Trying to find your place, your tribe,
Somewhere you fit in.

Evil should look evil
Then you don’t let it in.
That’s what they used to say.
Like evil is a presence,
Something you can see, sense, feel or touch.
But what if evil is just emptiness?
What if it’s nothing at all?
Something missing,
A sink-hole for the soul,
A yearning,
A damaged, nothing bastard child
Craving for attention?
Just a patch of vacant silence
In the middle of a storm.

Outside of any frame of reference or understanding,
Not bound by rule of law,
But free to make its own.
From nothing to nothing.
Making you suffer
Like your life is over
When everyone else’s carries on
Like you were never there.

We try to convince ourselves it means something.
But that’s just something we tell ourselves
To make sense of the sacrifice,
Calling it fate.
But fate is fluid
And destiny is in the hands of men.

Some things go bad
And they don’t get better
Any good along the way
Helps to keep us moving on.
Yeah, some things go bad
And they don’t get better
Any good along the way
Helps to keep us moving on.
