Our minds can contain right or wrong
One to cut from the puppeteer's string
The freedom of ours has boxed us in
When both sever, greed’s ephemeron sings
And as the time before fades from bliss
The mind's evolution seemed imminent
Failing to keep up with its host
The parasite within broke silence
Why do children seek one another?
For they bear the last candles of innocence
A wild race we've brought to the extinction
Armed with our center piece and our ignorance
Easily swayed by earthly stars
The clarity follows the blind
Unmatched blades are useless
The poison quill I’ve signed
In the bloodstream only hindsight flowed
How the enigmatic alone survive
An open heart begs for a knife
One under your cloak stays alive
Why do children seek...
Reason has been locked in her tower
Guarded by warriors consumed in black fire
A conspiracy fueled by the desire
The masses unknowingly submitting to power
Every second spent, every memory made
Every step towards the cascade
Every moment reading other's minds
Every move they see falling behind
Why do children hate one another?
They’ve blown out the last candles of innocence
A migration to lands with no return
An extinction caused by our ignorance
Revelation
Ominous sensation
Joyful deliberation
Imitation

- Description: Writing completely personal songs is harder than all-fantasy or part-fantasy lyrics. This is one of the only songs in my collection that's all personal, and is awkward sounding. Critique.
