Peel away this veneer that clouds my eyes
Pull back the blinders that show only lies
For too long it has been denied
The ability to be greater and to be alive
If this is truly what living is
Then it is quite simply a tease
There is nothing left to believe in
That is the thirst you cannot please
What is considered to be some of the greatest triumphs of man
Are mearly things that should be damned
For one thing that has been lost is the power to create
All that is left is to condescent and berate
I’ve been searching for hope for so long
Not the kind that can be marketed or sold for a soul
But something that can bring me from these ashes and feel whole
And right now I’m ashamed of the human race to which I belong
