ALL THAT IS AND IS NOT
ALL THAT IS AND IS NOT
(T. Beechey)
Beyond the wind,beneath the stars, the scars which never seem to heal
Become too real to fantasize for the eyes of those in hiding
Beneath the stars,above the sun we've just begun to understand
The unplanned schemes of yesterday in a way that feels enlightening
But no one knows and no one tells
As the bells proceed in tolling
Rolling in time to the melody
Of we so in need of consoling
Above the sun and over the sea, nothing is free except the price
Of sacrifice and circumstance in a glance so uninviting
Over the sea and under the mist, you can't resist what never appears
Throughout the years and in between each scene that time's deciding
But no one tells and no one learns
As concerns become without meaning
Careening beyond anyone's control
The soul shall not be intervening
Under the mist and through the waves, we're all slaves to what we're not
And all we've got to testify becomes a lie in our writing
Through the waves and across the land, the grand finale soon unfolds
And whatever holds us to our place gets erased by time's misguiding
But no one learns and no one cares
By the stares we're now receiving
Which can't believe the words we speak
At the peak of fate's deceiving
Across the land and beyond the wind, we've rescinded back to where we were
All's a blur except the pain which remains while time is sliding
Beyond the wind,beneath the stars through the bars we all are peeking
Seeking a glimpse of anything to bring our souls to confiding
But no one cares and no one's here
To clear away the remnants
And since there's nothing to remind
What's to find is the pennance
