Unfettered and free falling to an inevitable demise
what remains certain if not endless dissapointment
that only come back to be smiling at us in the mirror
desires grow perverse and grow sour over the years
leaving an empty place in our hearts to keep company with
where is the innocence and youth masturbated and flushed
down the toilet down the drain gone forever
lost to myself just the silent unseen observer
shedding endless tears for self and misspent moments
careless words that cut and sting the children
inside of us all they are so curious and
just want to learn and play creative spark
dulled by our own actions dampered by lifestyles
countless days spent digging our own graves
uselesss and impotent we all are naked and exposed
hopeless because such a concept as hopeless exists
we've made these prisons for ourselves willfully
what ignorance drove us to this but anxious greed
self defined and created salvation becomes our damnation
we wander further from the source with every
single dollar we earn pawning ourselves away
one piece at a time until nothing is left
but a victim and a bank account
what need have we of a predator
when we can find the ultimate in the mirror
waiting to devour us at our earliest convenience
make an appointment to keep with the trend
Our unseen shackles tighten as we struggle futile
