It drives us from our path and suffocates
As we are gnashing teeth into the arms that press us down
We try to recourse, redirect before we are run into the ground
But it tears at our limbs as we breathe the disease that is our all
We have tried to untie but misled
Reduced to sink into the coarse our heads filled with last lights encore
Eyes turned over as we have but run into the ground
Drive down a fix to a burden we have bore
Delve deep, it has it has a grasp that tightens as we grow
We've got the purpose of a vestigial organism at best
While you've got the tact of a cinder block
With the honesty of a bleached out blood stain
We're as bloodless as limbless mannequins
We all make a mark, like undetected accelerants
Like last week's obituaries
