Jaryd Stapleton - Asthenia

For all intended purposes
This is not the rollercoaster of your life
This is not the primetime news
This is not anywhere near enough

It’s everything you’ve feared
Sick sudden realisation that hits home
For every action, a reaction
Reaction, reaction, reaction

Bluer than the scarlet sunlight
Redder than the violet cloak
Every reason not to wander out at night
Every chance and opportunity crushed

Mysteries of the eternal imagination
Chasms of the mind
Eyes to the blind
Life goes on as if it never bled itself dry

Es tut mir leid!
Your mistake on a pedestal
Mirrors and television the constant reminders
Rue, rue, rue your boat!
Life is but a dream...
