Analysis of Barred From Sight
Did you try to take it with you,
did you really think you could
Are those moments that you sold for cash,
now spent and gone for good
Did you try to buy forgiveness,
choosing darkness over light
Are your memories long forgotten,
—new horizons barred from sight
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2017)
