Halcyon Arrhythmia - Light & Sound

The light and sound wait for a reaction, some vague recognition they're still of consequence
Rejuvenation of an ember once reflected in a better time
Not long ago it was trivial to grab ahold of utter curiosity
With no ethereal possession of perspective I now strive to reach

Lying dormant in the corner
With pensive sigh, longing to await again

But now the lights don't alter the mood in a familiar way, and it all seems just a little colder
Still you stand and bow to an ever fading light
The growth won't feel like it should, we regress and regress, and you won't recall what you were told
Until it's all reduced to the esoteric mystery of the light and sound

There's no need for a eulogy, just cool derision that's worth the sum of resentment that you've been feeling and ache for that feeling's return
Which is worse than a mourning, and closure that it would provide
We regress and regress
So we live in contortion, a mask reinforcing a lie

That the lights still alter the mood, a bid to try and make things whole again
A grim reminder of this gradual decay
Dreamer so naive, author of illusion
Provoked by memory, muzzled by an unfamiliar force
Still you stand and bow to an ever fading light

And now the lights don't alter the mood in a familiar circumstance
Could I in an absent control have been the most in awe I'll ever be?
Now we're clutching vapor, chasing shadows
Comfort seeking behavior for just a glance
Longing for the light and sound's effect
