Catalyst Changed

The Comet!

It's here once more

And it's brighter

Than I've seen it before

Year after year

Day after day

Perhaps it always

Seems this way

Is the fog real

Or is my vision blurred?

Is this song ancient

Or has it never been heard?

Tears are whelming

And stinging my eyes

My ears are bleeding

From being fed lies

This song is unnerving

But I don't want it to end

Are we spiralling downwards?

Or rounding a bend?

The Catalyst Comet brings change

Fear, confusion, revulsion, outrage

Something new and something strange

Yes, the Catalyst Comet brings change

It's getting closer

And bolder

And stronger

And older

And less metaphorical

But more abstract

And easier to see

But harder to look at

It's getting warped

And stranged

And less sure

And more changed

The change is changing

I've never heard this sound

We've cried wolf before but

The world's turned upsidedown

The Comet is internalised

Yet looming above

Like a second sun

Or a first love

Something new inside

This warmth is chilling

I wish I understood it

But I'm unable or unwilling

The Catalyst Comet brings change

And it cannot be controlled

All we have is hope

But that hope is something old

We've fought entropy our whole lives

And at least that will never change

Perhaps this existential dread

Is the same hope coloured strange

The song is new

But the old notes stay

The future is now

We're always moments away

Bring it on, Comet

We're changing change too

So perhaps, together

We can start something new

The Catalyst Comet brings change

Fear, hope, existential exchange

Something wonderful, something strange

The Catalyst Comet brings change
