Knell

And the knell rings out
And you have found the night inside my soul
I tried so hard to keep it in
You tried so hard to pull

There's a tincture of an eidolon
It was so beautiful
But it couldn't stay that way for long
The bell was bound to toll

Every day I wonder
What made it so wonderful
Now you've got tunnel vision
And pupils as black as coal

The excavation is over
Nothing's left to behold
I'm left with just the fear that future's
Insubstantial
