murk & marrow

joy escapes through the tangled days

youth escapes through the blur of pain

smoke cloaks the sky

the bell explodes

a shudder runs through

we have nowhere to turn

when the luster is gone and life loses right

we cannot escape the slipping of time

exodus of eden led by convenience

the murk and marrow are all that we know

when the luster is gone and life loses right

nothing will escape the slipping of time

love needs to feed

ghosts need belief
