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 centuries

(I'm) Getting tired of all these 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,

The distances 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
