Disjointed context
  The words were merely sounds
  Watching as the buildings
  Slowly crumbled to the ground
  
  Thoughts never rendered
  Lie dying by the road
  Last breath drawn endlessly
  Collapsing into smoke
  
  Struggling to break free
  From life's inequities
  The suicide of reason
  Becomes the drowning season
  
  Grim repetition
  Dour features form a frown
  The clock's hand reverberates
  Throughout the empty town
  
  De-evolution
  Oxidizing the past
  The present is uncertain
  The future never lasts
  
  Struggling to break free
  From life's inequities
  The suicide of reason
  Becomes the drowning season
  
  Pre-emptive reflex
  Split-second sanctity
  Repeating prayers that somehow
  Never got received
  
  Struggling to break free
  From life's inequities
  The suicide of reason
  Becomes the drowning season
