Our faults shimmer before the public Like lies in the eyes of teens But our good hibernate from others Advertising our wrongs and sins Friends and trust are what blaze our hearts To hurt us ere our sights spot And it takes us long to hang lens To audit what's dense to float We hardly contend our lacks That lay fresh and young to cure themselves And our needs emigrate the earth After the betrayal from what we thought helps

Our blindness
Our faults shimmer before the public Like lies in the eyes of teens But our good hibernate from others Advertising our wrongs and sins Friends and trust are what blaze our hearts To hurt us ere our sights spot And it takes us long to hang lens To audit what's dense to float We hardly contend our lacks That lay fresh and young to cure themselves And our needs emigrate the earth After the betrayal from what we thought helps
