Always

Always

They came alive on the carpet of a jungle
In a time past, present, or future who's to know?

Standing at her side was her
Partner, made of metal, staring through the plastic straight into skull
Eyes permanently wide

They'd awoke by the programmed will of The Prophets
Long since buried and burned
Like the future they'd promised

And when you're born without meaning
Meant to know not but yourself
You find your purpose in just about anything
You find your purpose in primitive pulses

So like always they felt anxious
But unlike ever they felt a pull somewhere in the distance
And like always they walked toward horizon
And unlike ever their steps had purpose
And unlike ever their steps had purpose for once in their lives

They'd never met a soul face-to-face on this scorched earth covered in mold
Their only human touch was pushed through a screen
Just characters in digital paintings

But still they felt the tick-tick-tick get louder and louder
As their sick tired mind got a little less crowded
And the days turned into nights
While sunrises and sets blurred together

They never wait til morning to keep walking
To wander deeper into that dark
Hoping at least for some kind of mirage
And like always the felt anxious
But unlike always there was somewhere to be
And unlike always they followed a signal

Following the wind, can't tell where they're going
Following the silence, separate from knowing
Following the silhouette of something arisen
And emerging from the post-prehistoric origin

And then that tick-tick-tick-tick-tick stopped

Towering tall out on the plane, it took their breath away
And she felt the same thing they all felt
When the long and awful story was finally over

So like always, they kept walking
Marching toward that thing they'd felt spinning in place like an orbiting atom

When hope is at a climax it make the letdown too hard to handle
Is it too much temptation to swallow?
And is it worth it for choking when eating?

But like always
They kept walking
And wandered deeper into that dark
Toward the first thing they ever felt
