The Visually Impaired

Nights draped in sin
Mistaking lust for love
Maybe not mistaking
Replacing
But it felt good
Melting into that hunger
Feeding a gluttonous heart
Stroking your narcissistic ego
Because that is what life has become

A desirous dance of delusion
Fill your shallow waters
You'll never notice what is missing in its depths
And it spreads out into the world
Soon everyone is drowning in emotional waste
Our waters becoming stagnant and repulsive
We are left to drink our own dirty bath water
And we do

We have set life on a track
Good or bad, it is what we believe
So this track is all we know
And we will hold onto it until the end
Progress and change takes knowledge
We are scared of real knowledge
Of truth

So we slip sweetly between the sheets
Wrapped in our desires and pride
Looking for things we don't want to find
To live a life we wont allow to exist
Because the thought of truly being free
Of really opening our minds
Is too fear inspiring
