Illusion Of Control

Head-first through the window
And emerged from the other side
So many days of resistance proved elusive
Like a leaf burned by the wind
And its obstinate regression
Those ??? passed me by
As consciousness provides

And I’ve ??? as the prophets
Predicted the end
Rapacious and proud of
The species they spin

???
??? obsolescence
Reflections dissipate
As the time recedes from shore
???
???
Shot through the atmosphere
Like a cypher wanting more

And I’ve ??? as the prophets
Predicted the end
Rapacious and proud of
The species they spin
