for a common enemy
By design walls united beat as one
and so begins the pulse
Over time divide and conquer
set the valve to regulate the flood
All the pain without the pressure
segregate the systems by their blood
Tick-tock with a hand upon the chest
Within the heart the mind arrests
Feel the shock and the line is flat again
the fluid cold but the pulse will still remain
*Bars have made a believer out of me
clear but they restrain
blocked the channels cannot be revived
pivot to the end of the pulse
Cold the air that slowly slips away
gone as it arrives
Opened eyed, arise the sons,
illuminate the point that tips the soul
Cataract mirage obscures the origin
of that which keeps us whole
