Blank stare and a shovel,
Heart filled half full,
Head down as you near the horizon.
You're in full submission,
Got faith for no good reason-
Just know you should
Tunnel vision and you're barely living,
Bounded by the roots of a holy mission.
The world won't end when you see the light.
Your face is gone, but the sun will still rise.
That voice inside- you can't let it go.
You can lie to your mind but not to your soul.
Money for his wife's hospice went into a new rocket.
Kids dance to the sound of it launching.
Dug deep in the minds of the children, unearthed and into confusion-
You never stood a chance.
Tunnel vision and you're barely living,
Bounded by the roots of a holy mission.
Were tunnel visioned because we think we can fix it,
Holding onto this hope when its fiction.
The world won't end when you see the light.
Your face is gone, but the sun will still rise.
That voice inside-
You can't let it go.
You can lie to your mind but not to your soul.
Burnt to oblivion on the ground,
At the likes of your mentor who's safe and sound.
In all of this anger you took a life,
Or did you take your own because they took yours?
