we were born to die
in our dreams we perceive love
only to find we can never wake up
chasing grandeur confounded
our spacious idealized utopia
crooked while well rounded
we are the blemish
as we stare into a darkness
we stand at the finish
only to find
falsified smiles
aroused suspicions and
guarded dispositions
catastrophic lies pursue
our calamity we call utopia
seeking shadows to subdue
warming up to the ugly truth
we are the blemish
as we stare into this darkness
we linger at the finish
only to find
chasing grandeur confounded
withering collaboration
impounded in suspicion
in suspended animation
we feel in suspended animation
we feel in suspended animation
we are the blemish
we stare into this darkness
we are the cause
of our own loss
