Time Well

Couldn't stop my mind from pacing

Left the lid ajar

Always looking for a way out

Pissing in the aether of my own pond

I was getting away but this wretched world

Had proven to be strong

I was living in a time well looking for an angle

Knowing there's none

Couldn't stop my ears from ringing

Sounded like the sea

Think I heard it in a shell once

Heard it on the power lines, hear it repeat

I was pulling away but the very earth

Was pulling back on me

Been assessing my surroundings

Beating back the howling winds of defeat

And the spires they refuse to fall

In the after-all

And the briar tore my hide apart in the after-all

In the after-all

And my armor nearly rusted off in the after-all

In the after-all
