Restoration or Damnation

Retreat into your plastic skin and deny it
When blossoms begin to open you close your eyes
This thought followed you through a lifetime and beyond
Rejected from above your ground
[Standing] on this great red carpet (don't trip they're all watching)
Following from a brave new concept
Your heart explodes and they laugh and sigh
Although you've seen it coming, you bleed as necessary
Your unheard cry seems so bland- you pause
Wondering if it's mere attraction (hollow?)
Or if the scarlet handshake permeates her vision
These words whispered onto paper
Mean nothing as far as the sun rise falls
Autumn; blessed change welcomed
The same lyric written over and over and over
Redundancy becomes fashionable yet late
The birth of reality meets the end of hallucination
Bringing your hand through glass--
The mirrors shattered and left for lifeless
Separation finds its way into dominion
[Standing] here on this foundation of water
Walk or sink, the choice is perverted- yet yours
You've been told to kill your idols
And crushed violets beneath your ideas
This living inferno, purity, burns clear
Ashes leave you alone in the ocean

"Ignorance is bliss!!" she cries, screams, dies...

"if only you had that option" he answers- holding her hand as she steps off of the boat.
