I dreamt of finding clarity
With the answers becoming clear to me
And that I finally found a purpose and meaning
I dream of value
But even my dream grew corrupt,
As the details emerged from my world airbrushed,
And it made me think when I woke up
[Of all the] half-truths my world is built on
Aesthetically subversive
The ones we curse are the same we bless
Defeated, trodden down,
How will the disease manifest itself next?
We gained ahead then lagged behind
And got caught in the traps that plague our kind
There comes a time when you feel too tired to survive
Cowards- not heroes.
The symptoms of our defeat,
Tired eyes, no breath to bleat,
Cling to past, It happens too fast
We're growing older and growing up
