Future

Lack of self respect can blind,
Lead to self destructive tendencies.
But I am old enough to know this game.
I cannot deny the truth to this.

Still I…
I’ve always recklessly believed that there was more to you than what they said you were.
I’ve never analyzed your words like I do this time,
With such clarity.

Look me in the eye,
And listen when I say that through this new perspective I see glimpses of the future.
I can see our future here.

Time unravels fantasy.
The momentum of reality will break apart these walls.
But even still, I wanted to hear it in your own words,
The truth, now.

Don’t avert your eyes.
Tell me, is it real what they all say?
As I accept the way things are, I can see we’re going nowhere.
I can see our future here.

I can see we’re going nowhere.
I can see the future.
