Clarity
He's matching my speed but two paces ahead
Can't reach him I try, he's over my head
A brother, he taunts me, makes fun of my pain
He's almost in reach but too far all the same
The mist wants to clear but it won't move along
Wind won't you pick up and please, please be strong
I need you to clear it I need a good view
If just a short glimpse for I've had very few
He's running in circles around me, no end
I'm dizzy I'm sick and I can't comprehend
When it will stop I've been trying so long
To catch him and see but I get it so wrong
He stays out of reach, becoming a part
A pet I can't touch, without visceral heart
He starts to turn cold, his teeth are on show
He goes for the kill, will he kill? I don't know
I can't tell if he's growling or grinning at me
And maybe that's the problem, my thoughts disagree
They fight with each other and drown out the sound
Of clarity, staying so lost, never found
