The Mansion

sup ppl, i wrote this on an impulse a long long time ago, in a galaxy far away{was listening to coldplay and reading this article about the Adeptus Mechanicus from wh40k folklore}. anyways, see if you can make sense of it....(i cudn't). and as usual i didn't edit it cos im lazy

i blinked and it was gone.
it was there just a second ago.
i blinked and i was lost
i was there just a second ago.

stone pillars and marble sky, white grass and green clouds
a lone recursive staircase, going everywhere and gone
reason burning with emotion , thunder of truthful clouds
and a forgotten mansion , everything's home.

in this mansion were many things common
in this mansion was a large mythical dragon
in this mansion i learned so much
in this mansion i burned so much

creaking floorboards always creak and broken windows always break
coffee keeps you up until you sleep, you can only shout in your head
closed closets always open and ticking clocks always clock
chairs seat you until you stand, the world bears you until you are dead.

in this mansion were many things common
in this mansion was a large mythical dragon
in this mansion i saw it once
in this mansion i saw it ; i'm done.

some truths are relative, some relatives are stone
a mobius-strip knife, slicing everything and none
a tiny indistinct pearl , in the centre of a hall, alone;
and this forgotten mansion, everything's home.

in this mansion were many djinn shamans
in this mansion was a large mythical barman
in this mansion i learned so much
in this mansion i saw it; i'm done.

this world is the equation, this world is the medium
a stencil to sketch mountains, a mould to shape seas
its a template for civilization, an economic theorem
and the forgotten mansion, everything's home.

but then it was gone, and i was on my knees in sand that chafed
the sun was burning, not an equation in the sky

i had blinked and it was gone.
it was there just a second ago.
i had blinked and i was lost
i was there just a second ago.

And now i'm lost.
