I'm still asleep in a world you abandoned
Taken for granted
Not much can be done
At least not now
Keep your head down
Hold out for a while
I want to tell you all that is wrong
But I must do so carefully
Lest I am shunned
Categorized, as my spirit dies
In a forest of
Electric webs
The reasons they hurry
Themselves underground
In a dark tunnel
Blackening all of our dreams
As we forget
Who we are
It's not what we want
The pains still there
The cause is lost
How long can we go on
Pretending
I'm sick and tired of games
The platitudes of humanity
Endless circles
Drawn in on each other
Hierarchies of faith and power
An undying lust for what I can't have
In a desert of abundance
We are cursed, and abandoned by god
Fallen and surrounded
By our own
Who want nothing more
Than to live
But seemingly
Are confused by a façade of
Scarcity
Driven
To blood
How long can this go on
I don't imagine forever
The bleakest of days
Are just ahead
I tried my best to stay positive
But it seems corruption is everywhere
Even in the most beautiful of things
Someone turns it into a game
The magic's lost
And the wonder is fading
Seems oblivion is never abating
All I see is apathy
In a world of drowned out memories
Face it, we're alone
And no one's coming home
To save our poor souls
In this wretched place
