Forgotten stories of excess
|
Both real and fiction
|
Too many hollow lives spent
|
Chasing benediction
|
We plummet to the earth like
|
Scores of fallen angels
|
Play out or tragedies on empty,
|
Weathered stages
|
|
But before we lose it all
|
The final curtain call
|
Conflicted and dejected
|
|
Beware the opulence inherent in confusion
|
When reality's obscured
|
By clouds and disillusion
|
Held under far too long by
|
The weight of our existence
|
We labor fruitlessly against
|
Both time and distance
|
|
Whats in the past cant be undone
|
You got to separate to become one
|
Your indecision hides the guilt
|
Just underneath your clouded eyes
|
So sick you'd sell your soul
|
For another fifteen minute lie
|
