Periphery

The bitter reminder of all that is gone
a rapid reflection, a suffering heart
somewhere but not here, anywhere
state of denial continue leading me wrong

from time to time I catch a glimpse
there is never more than just a glimpse
existing here beside me now
faithfully, dear periphery

for a fraction of time nerves unwind
the precious moments I live to find
distracting, disrupting, disturbing me
the second I feel it, it's killing me

from time to time I catch a glimpse
there is never more than just a glimpse
existing here beside me now
faithfully, dear periphery

timing, lightning - always too late
fractions flashing for me
stretching, reaching - never enough
distance, approach me now
I can see it there
I see, it's there
I believe it is here
just out of sight

from time to time I catch a glimpse
there is never more than just a glimpse
existing here beside me now
faithfully, dear periphery
