Dec 2010
Tomorrow we were blinded by love—
Forced to tread on a downward path to nowhere.
Did we ever think we’d be so misled?
We are the cynical children of generation taboo.
Did they really think our dreams would not
Allow us to break free?
Allow us to fly past invisible storms?

We knew our goals could not be reached by will alone.
But we did nothing to stop ourselves
From getting lost in the cloudy haze of apathy.
Why should we care for them?
Why should we even bother to care for ourselves?
When piety and holiness were ****** in our mouths
With silver spoons of lustful hate.

What’s left for us to open our hearts to?
When pearly gates draw pillows beneath us,
Promising a peaceful end.
So you can still lie to yourself;
So you can still tell yourself your life has meaning.
