Vision is Only One of Five

An unsensed fear

That I'll have none left for me

I will live that fear

You say believe in what I can't see

But I do see

Where is this disconnect?
Why do we feel disoriented, out of context?
You say you probably can't make it out
So what happened along the way?
How'd we lose touch?

Vision is only half with these eyes

The rest is with these pages

Given to aid these eyes

Vision is only one of five

But it is one that burns memories
In our mind

Fears are not realized
If you fear something that never comes
Despite this, I never realized
All these subtractions, I add the sums
Clear eyes and vision comes

Doldrums on a wake in my mind
You ask, do I ever feel like a misfit?
Well life does drone on and on
Do you feel out-of-sorts?
Do you ever feel like a ragamuffin?

Vision is only half with these eyes

The rest is with these pages

Given to aid these eyes

Vision is only one of five

But it is one that burns memories
In our mind

Sun seems so bright
But am I just looking outside?
Can I only half as bright?
Am I meant to be on the other side
I just need some movement, to the outside

It's so much greener
So much brighter than here
Are you gonna let it glow?
There's plenty of space to move
Don't let memories weigh you down

Vision is only half with these eyes

The rest is with these pages

Given to aid these eyes

Vision is only one of five

But it is one that burns memories
In our mind

It's half with these eyes

But also with these pages

Vision is only one of five

But memories burn in my mind
They burn less with more time
