I thought today was the end It felt like a drug I had to slam myself and stare Hypnotic one Why must it always be that one day can change the rest That stricken feeling is so short-lived And only the throb is left He sang "she's running out again" Thunder in the sun All at once it's on you and it's gone Virtual and done You never know what the power of a particle will cost I can see that the death of this is my most colossal loss Paralyzing as a vision ethereal All alone and awe-struck In the downpour and the lull It bore an accidental resemblance to my life It was celestial speech Promise prophesied
