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
