....And On
I’ve found the world at last
Dust settles in on ash
Only poisons to breathe in
My hopeful cures are bathed in sin
I’ve seen myself at last
Programmed by a distant past
A million latching crowds
All hiding from an inner sound
I know you all at last
Running to the safest mass
My mirror never lies
It told me all the reasons why
I’m selfish and alone
I’m turning in to all I’ve known
So why can I still see?
Stemming from my hate for me
