War of Attrition

Alone here in the darkness It's where I find relief At the mercy of the shadow Afraid of my beliefs Truth seekers are now homeless Evicted and maligned Self appointed sanctimonious Blind leading the blind Helplessly broken hearted Feeling disregarded Hard-wired for destruction Now and ever more Too many questions With a million different answers Let the world fall And embrace the madness What we know is but a drop What we don't is an ocean Fractions of an infinite whole Living a ludicrous notion What we know is but a drop What we don't is an ocean Fractions of an infinite whole Living a ludicrous notion Attracted to the dark Like moths to a flame We flirt with free will But are victims to the game Standing on the precipice Of the infinite abyss Father, son and holy ghost A false hope of bliss Helplessly broken hearted Feeling disregarded Hard-wired for destruction Now and ever more The maddening crowds Are too much for me to bear Con men and clowns A thousand yard stare What we know is but a drop What we don't is an ocean Fractions of an infinite whole Living a ludicrous notion What we know is but a drop What we don't is an ocean Fractions of an infinite whole Living a ludicrous notion Nothing but regret For stupid things I've done and said No relief and no escape I can only make amends
