so we look at ourselves
blinking again and again hoping to open our eyes to a new light
and yet we awaken
only to see the reflection is the same
old faces staring into new wounds
our hands soiled with the cleanliness of our newly begotten sins
oh how young we feel
gathering the riches of the world
gobbling it all up inside us
taking it to our graves where it truly matters, right?
so stare into the sun
chase it till it dies
blind yourself in ignorance
lose yourself in your own shadow
