A Tangled Curse
Sightless visions of this world
Collapsing reason, the rising scared
Disillusion breaking bonds
The gravity of this collective song
The undeterred replacing truth
Teach detachment to the youth
Complexity and blinding games
Reattaching trauma’s shame
Cold perception blaming loss
Upon reflections in the frost
Banished hearts creating schemes
Against ourselves; this broken theme
The self-receptive caught within
The fear of self within their skin
It’s in this place we choose our worth
While people fight upon the earth
The gravity that passes by
We’re falling down, or into the sky
No more places left to hide
We forgive the past, or our future dies
This illusion breaking fast
We fight against the spells we cast
Between the earth and universe
We must dissolve this tangled curse
