Triptych

I was born inside a broken shell Nutrients seeping out The sight to me came too slow To see the opportunity The wide wide palette of worlds The infinity Reaching out to claim me first Instead, I lived The cosmos so far away A lifetime ahead and between Instead, I lived and saw the rise Of a catastrophe Now I cling to that first memory Of being too weak to be strong And claim the rightful place An eternity as one of three (one of three) I wait to be One of three One of three Never really alone Now the bottom has risen To raise the race But the top is broken off Never to expand Just cycle like a drone Awaiting the next phase May never come In this fog of war Save me from this routine The singularity One hive instead of three These true outcomes three (one of three) I wait to be One of three One of three Never really alone In the triptych we trust In the triptych we trust The new reality I taste the fuel as it drops The shell continues to feed It’s still a part of me (one of three) I wait to be One of three One of three Never really alone In the triptych we trust In the triptych we trust Micah Robinson - Guitar John Makarewicz - Bass Steve Murphy - Drums Nick Nunziata - Keyboard, Vocals
