Cleared of truth and history,
By my insecurity,
Left here with no heart to show,
Zoomed out from all that I know,
Drained of hope and energy,
By their animosity,
Left here with no path to see,
Groomed for what I cannot be,
Scared of life and destiny,
By my own humanity,
Left here with no love to give,
Doomed to die before I live.

Cleared of truth and history,
By my insecurity,
Left here with no heart to show,
Zoomed out from all that I know,
Drained of hope and energy,
By their animosity,
Left here with no path to see,
Groomed for what I cannot be,
Scared of life and destiny,
By my own humanity,
Left here with no love to give,
Doomed to die before I live.
