Walk with me into this night
Keep me close, hold me tight
Is this the dark before the dawn?
Or just the lull before the storm?
The world is sleeping, a world on the brink
The future is closer than we think
The machines are here to correct our faults
Assist our living, think our thoughts
No more hiding in the privacy of our minds
Now even dreams are monitored and monetized
But will conforming to this new reality
Descend us into insanity?
What of the memories that permeate our minds
The experiences that money cannot buy?
The rainbows that shimmer in oil-stained puddles
Like remembrances of former lives
But with the passing of cars like the passing of time
They will discolor and collide
The fireplace glow, the coal-tar soap
The Sunday roast, the tobacco smoke
The jamboree bags, the penny chews
All now, disappearing from view
My nan's perfume, its name I can't remember
The autumnal lights of October and November
More than just the molecules that animate our flesh
We are eternal beings sempiternally blessed
Free as the day we die, pure as we are born
Our souls remain deathless, no need to mourn
Our lives will teem with love and regret
I hope you remember the things I can't forget
