Glimpse of the Con

Hand over every
Last hope, to find
One mask for every
Halo, divine
In ways known to others
The same hopes run together
So many eyes now
Way too many to count down
I fight to reach the surface
And then I’m passing out
In ways known to others
The same hopes run together
Don’t weep, not for long
Lost savants
Between this fight and a wall
Peel those layers away
Send help for the damned
It’s just a glimpse of the con from beyond.
I woke to hear a night owl
Way upon next hoax
To pass the time he’d say
Is anybody there
Don’t weep, not for us
Lost savants
Between this fight and a wall
Peel those layers away
Send help for the damned
It’s just a glimpse of the con from beyond.
Don’t wait up
Its too close to know
Don’t wait up
Its too close to care
Don’t wait up
Its too close to tell
Don’t wait
In ways known to others
The same hopes run together
Don’t weep, not for us
Lost savants
Between this fight and a wall
Peel those layers away
Send help for the damned
It’s just a glimpse of the con
Don’t weep, not for long
Lost savants
Between this fight and a wall
Peel these layers away
Send help for the damned
It’s just a glimpse of the con from beyond
From beyond.
