*Things that are far away look like promises,
things that are near look like apologies.*
There is no doubt for the doubting Thomases
who misunderstood their psychologies

The nearer you come the further you appear,
a hall of mirrors shattered by these prisms
Bow down to the belief that all now revere;
there is no way to restore these schisms
