Fulfilled

All to share a gaze upon a window

For which there's no luxury

Of safety, nor opportunity

Nor hope, which you seldom sell me

To relinquish our dreams

Under the guise of a lucky lottery

How could you spare to inconvenience your comfort?

Could I afford the fear someday?

Could I retain the hope of a false sense?

Are we to swallow a golden dream?

They peer down upon us with privileged scrutiny

Eaten alive, reviving an ageless lie

Eaten alive, an eye for a mind

Eaten alive, reviving an ageless lie

Eaten alive, an eye for a mind

A soul for your time

To forget that which we are bled

To descend, how perfect, we the dead

Deliver all our presence

I will collapse and never be

And your will so charitably

Given, a life portrayed, displayed

Inside a shell which you will never free
