There's a bridge within our consciousness
That so few know about
Connects understanding
Patience and wisdom
Destroying any doubt
Confusion
Competition
Condemnation
Become Compassion
Collaboration
A companion
The present is a distant memory
The ravine of understanding is
In shrouds of fog obscured
Obstruction of vision
Clouds intuition
Delusion is assured
Illusion
Isolation
Indignation
Find inspiration
Illumination
And inclusion
The present is a distant memory
The more we connect
The less we respect
Words fall on deaf ears
My love disappears
Our speech turns to noise
We act without poise
Our obstinate kin
Their judgment a sin
I try to relate
And alter my fate
My efforts in vain
I'm driven insane
There's a bridge within our consciousness
Or at the bottom of a glass
Passed down by the father
Giving me comfort
When I know that love can't last
Damnation
Degradation
Desolation
And devastation
Debilitation
Decimation
The present is a distant memory
