Abhor or adore
Evermore, nevermore, you
Answer for our war

Crowns and crests disguise
Devils with painted faces
Authority, hate

Two answers
Extinction or reason
Harsh distinction
Humanity's treason
Are our lives unique
Among hundreds and billions?
Why do we control nature
By separating ourselves?
Endless, friendless
Evolving to get less
Age is no refinement
Inside is misalignment
Questions not solved by assignments
We live through confinement
Enhancers of cancer
Dancers and prancers
Funds without a financer

Aged, unstable
Closed fists, old distant answers
Open hands replaced

True lies bring no pride
As our world runs dry, revised
Assisted by lies

I'll get a life
Where can I find one?
I've chased a dream spun by folly
Fate is not cruel, it is my own psychology
A soul cannot be satisfied by numbers
For those at the summit
Jump off to the base
Peak to perish, garish to cherish
Consecutively nightmarish
What face do I perceive?
Is this really me?
Caught up in the feckless and reckless
Ignoring all the life
I have wasted over time
Was my time truly mine?
Or am I a slave to bloodlines and deadlines?

Decaying, degrading
We take all for granted
Never giving ourselves time
To enjoy what we have
Our clocks are set to different times
If you never got the memo
Metronomes tick at different tempos
So when our time comes to close
We turn it back to avoid letting go
