Apocalypse Examined
the city looks abandoned but you know better than to assume
danger is everywhere and after awhile you grew attune
the people who make the same msitake twice, they die
one of the only outcomes that isn't surrounded by grey lines
fake lies warp and make minds shake and break like bats on brake lights
shame hides inside pained eyes your poor brain's tried then the flame dies
but if you give up now this long fight was worthless
pissed you curse it sift and search for purpose
but in the end you come up with nothing more than filthy hands
while the ties of fate fray into silky strands
the only thing you actually see in the mirror is a chilling glance
decieved by the little white lies your feelings grant
cause real truth is harsh, it's like a punctured heart
it just keeps gushing blood till the blood's to sparce
you're bled dry then hung up as trophy
so every passer by can stop and examine you closely
