Nothing Prevails - Information Society

I know what you know

The harbor leaves of summer pale before the rains

When you can save me

A clarity of winter clasps us in its

Embrace

But then

We never said it’s perfect

We never make concessions

So again

You run the field backwards while I do nothing

Don’t be fooled by what you have

Nothing prevails and nothing lasts

Sacred to another

Calling to your brother

Reaching out to everyone but nothing is uncovered

When I was who I was then

I could paint the whole world with just three colors

Then you came to show me

In the beauty of isolation nothing grows

And now

Prioritizing peace while holding down the pain

Now and then

I turn the pages backwards so I can feel something

Don’t be fooled by what you have

Nothing prevails and nothing lasts

Perfect we’re together

Pretending with the others

Reaching into ourselves to find there’s nothing left to be discovered

No matter how large our view

We’re still trapped

Trapped in a circle of pathways

Trapped in a web of people

Trapped by bridges

Trapped by time

With only the pictures

To make it seem real

Don’t be fooled by what you have

Nothing prevails and nothing lasts

Sacred to another

Calling to your brother

Reaching out to everyone but nothing is uncovered

Don’t be fooled by what you have

Nothing prevails and nothing lasts

Perfect we’re together

Pretending with the others

Reaching into ourselves to find there’s nothing left to be discovered
