Where Reason Left Us Behind

Where reason left us behind We crowned the void with meaning Built temples out of absence And called it truth You carved your laws in hollow stone Defined the chaos, named it home A fragile order, thin and strained A mask to hide the uncontained You speak of purpose like it's known As if the void could be dethroned But every word dissolves in time Every structure folds in silence There is no meaning waiting No truth beneath the skin We are the echo fading Of where we might have been No hand to guide the falling No voice beyond the void Where reason left us behind All certainty destroyed You worship patterns in the noise Inventing gods to fill the void A system built on fractured ground Where lost convictions still resound You preach control, design, intent But all dissolves in accident Every answer breeds a lie Every truth a slow erosion There is no meaning waiting No truth beneath the skin We are the echo fading Of where we might have been No hand to guide the falling No voice beyond the void Where reason left us behind All certainty destroyed We traced the stars to find a plan Projected order onto sand But silence answered every plea An endless, blind geometry No origin, no final end Just patterns we pretend Say it louder Preach it harder Meaning is a wound you nurture Truth is just a shape you borrow From the fear of endless hollow There is no meaning waiting No truth beneath the skin We are the echo fading Of where we might have been No hand to guide the falling No voice beyond the void Where reason left us behind All certainty destroyed Where reason left us behind Nothing answered Nothing remained Only the silence We named again
