lyrics

a sort of far-sighted perception
can never read the situation clearly enough
until I’m far enough away from the moment
that it’s just too late
no signs of malice or rancour
but maybe a reckless thoughtlessness prevailed
I have no way of knowing what has just happened
but I thought I caught a vague whiff of betrayal
kaleidoscopic tunnel vision
drowning in a situation I can’t grasp
the anguish of knowing the worst news might be easier
than this uncertainty
sinking into vague feelings of guilt
as conscience tries to fill gaping holes in the data
I have no way of knowing what has just happened
but I’m starting to fear I may have become Judas

and I don’t understand
how I could push someone
off a cliff
knowing full well that their soul
is attached to my heart
and I have no idea
why I would throw a friend
off a cliff
knowing full well that their veins
are entwined around my neck
