The Theory of Distance
Manuel Gardner Fernandes
Distance is everywhere
Events all over the place
The horizon’s so far, but after all
We are a part of him
We see distance in our eyes
Perceive it just through our sight
Aeon’s what we don’t know
Endlessness lives without us
If a man ever saw her, then he’s dead
Nothing’s a lie
Which saves us from the conviction
That Everything’d be reality
Just one more pace
And you’re distance
So just one more trice
And you are existence
Nothing’s endless
What none of us can see
Will not ever be
And we cannot believe
What we can’t conceive
We won’t leave our perspective
And we don’t know sanity
Thoughts are definitions
As the theory of distance is
The present’s just a feeling
That only exists in us
As long as the world revolves
We are the theory of distance
