Telltale Notion

[00:23.98] In time these majestic doorways will crumble
[00:27.23] Insidious faces carving their names in stone
[00:30.36] Desperate not to be forgotten, a token of their vanity
[00:36.85] Nothing but a little lamplight in the coming storm
[00:39.99] To digress is emptiness
[00:43.22] No perspective and no greater matter at hand
[00:49.75]
[01:00.76] No, this is not the end of the world
[01:06.37] But you can see it from here
[01:08.06] Awaiting it in prospect of expiration
[01:14.20]
[01:24.96] Slow-motion progress led by time-lapse machines
[01:28.50] An eclipse so sudden, yet crawling in on us for ages
[01:34.57] To cover up this deceit
[01:39.73] The air is filled with the smell of fear and distress
[01:43.70] It is all too emblematic for this lasting state of emergency
[01:50.68]
[02:16.37] A cause so vain, admonitions born from guilt
[02:22.05] Living in a constant crisis, we're all caught in a loop
[02:28.93] This is not a tell-tale notion
[02:43.70] This is fiction, a mere equation
[02:46.55] Until one day you see with unclouded eyes
[02:49.21] the genuine rapture of human nature
[02:54.27] Sometimes I feel like the end of the road is just one step away
[03:01.01] Yet it is only another chapter to be told in time
[03:05.72]
