Symbiotic

When the ties that bind tore, unwinding
 'twas like you never saw it coming
 And once the light inside you would not shine
 Then I knew you'd never see as clear again
 The water's deep, but blood is thick... one fills the soul, one makes us tick
 Adjoined and whole, apart and sick for we are all symbiotic
 When the spark went dark it was blinding
 I knew I should have felt it coming
 But once the will inside you would not fight
 Then I knew you'd never be the same again
 The water's deep, but blood is thick... one fills the soul, one makes us tick
 Adjoined and whole, apart and sick for we are all symbiotic
 Where does it go... this vanishing wisdom gathered in years,
 When life and the vision go dark?
 Here and alone, you linger like incense traded for tears after the essence departs
 What can we know as we race towards the future?
 When healing is slow, sewn with the sutures of time
 And why must they go?
 What is the reason these colors of hope
 Must change like the seasons that die?
 And our connections, when all is said and done,
 Are mere reflections upon our shattered core
 As the night invites in the twilight I stare into the sinking sun
 And though I wait and long to see it rising
 I suppose it never will again
 Where does it go... this vanishing wisdom gathered in years,
 When life and the vision go dark?
 Here and alone, you linger like incense traded for tears after the essence departs
 What can we know as we race towards the future?
 When healing is slow, sewn with the sutures of time
 And why must they go?
 What is the reason these colors of hope
 Must change like the seasons that die?
 The water's deep, but blood is thick... one fills the soul, one makes us tick
 Adjoined and whole, apart and sick for we are all symbiotic
