about

She sits in the chair, hands clutching the armrests. The familiar look of panic and terror. Drool-flecked chin. Thousand yard stare. Guttural, distant sounds.
And then there it is for a moment. Understanding, insight and intelligence flicker across the eyes as they dart about, temporarily under complete control, taking in everything, connecting the scattered dots of memory. If you weren’t looking at her for that exact second you would miss it.

And then it’s gone.

lyrics

Disturb my peace
Shake me awake
Fetch me every second
Of love and life I've lost

A myriad
Of memory
It's more painful to perceive this ghostly reality in a moment of clarity

So I exist perfectly preserved in moments now reduced to just an instant thick
The endless nights and time-smeared days where no-one else can see
These moments of clarity
That waste themselves on me

All that I've seen
All I've achieved
Unrecognised
Like those who love me
I behold the prison that I am in
Until once again my soul's set drifting

Cling to vision 'til fog returns
And drags me back into my ghastly reality
A jet black wave breaks over me
I tumble underneath my moment of clarity
Why couldn't you let me be?
Cruel moment of clarity.
