The bitter reminder of all that is gone
A rapid reflection, a suffering heart
Somewhere but not here, anywhere

State of denial continue leading me wrong

From time to time I catch a glimpse

There is never more than just a glimpse
Existing here beside me now
Faithfully, dear periphery


For a fraction of time nerves unwind
The precious moments I live to find

Distracting, disrupting, disturbing me
The second I feel it, it's killing me


From time to time I catch a glimpse
There is never more than just a glimpse
Existing here beside me now

Faithfully, dear periphery

Timing, lightning ‒ always too late

Fractions flashing for me
Stretching, reaching ‒ never enough
Distance, approach me now


I can see it there
I see, it's there

I believe it is here
Just out of sight


From time to time I catch a glimpse
There is never more than just a glimpse
Existing here beside me now

Faithfully, dear periphery
