Our Vices

human hands
moved the earth
and the sky
then forced the fall
our hearts connects our fates
what did you say
to make us accept the blame?
to make it go away
the cure we cannot negotiate
remove the air from my lungs
as i sigh i disbelief
looking back
through time and space
ignites the flame of our decay
the cataclysm of our self-indulgent ways
we need to find
some piece of mind
our will to live
and sacrifice
despite our lusts
despite our fears
corrupted minds are in the air
open your eyes
and see the signs of what you have been missing
for the better part of your life
a city that sleeps
it’s not real
it hasn’t been for centuries
since we invented
this perpetual motion machine
four corners
none explored
everyday we spend
looking for more
eyes open wide
kept fixed on the wall
generations made from nothing at all
looking back
through time and space
ignites the flame of our decay
the cataclysm of our self-indulgent ways
we need to find
some piece of mind
our will to live
and sacrifice
despite our lusts
despite our fears
corrupted minds are in the air
corrupted minds are in the air
remove the air from my lungs
as i sigh i disbelief
