Cunctation/Revelation...


I haven't had too much to show
so I've tried to just go with the flow
but the flow poured me right down the drain
and made making my mark
just a stain

So then I damned all cunctation
that I might reach some rousing revelation

For what's a soul to do
with so much time
and so little to show?

But when I'd been making my way
there weren't enough hours in a day
to blaze trails to the lands of my dreams
or set sail from the shores of my screams
without eroding my flesh to the bone
and grinding each cheer to a groan

So I went back to cunctation
in search of some rusing revelation

For what's a soul to do
with so much time
and so little strength?

You know Rome wasn't built in a day
or at least that's what they all say
when in Rome...
Do as the Romans do
-So Cunctation may carry you through?

Is this good cause for cunctation?
Is this a real revelation?

You know these very same they
and they all say that
They say...
Good things come
to those who wait
but pure patience
just strands you with fate
and the fate of all things
is to fade
and in the fading of things
they're unmade

So is this any revelation
or just more cunctation?

What's a soul to do
with so much time
and so little...
