Future Myopia

None left to mourn in the end On course to go without a crying eye You can't turn your dollars into friends I know the name that you keep thinking of is mine Documented decline Sleeping on a bed of guilt from love burned Still you'll beg for more time Wishing for the bet you never took Hard to look up when you're down No perspective from the ground Captured by what you create Your path keeps you from your fate And still you cling to that which is gone Ignore the warnings you never saw As if you'd rather be found dead before being wrong You should be praying to fall You should be praying to fall You should be praying to fall Underfed, you let your passions atrophy and Kept a failing heart, but you chose to ignore it All the dreams malnourished moved to other hosts and Even if you try to look, you know you'll never find them Hard to look up when you're down No perspective from the ground Captured by what you create Your path keeps you from your fate Think about what you thought you could be You want your flowers, but you threw out the seeds Another time Reject that notion, 'cause there's some things you should see I got up higher than you ever could You tried turning me from me, but nah, I'm good I figured what you told me didn't connect with what you showed me Careful with the path you're choosing Keep your core, but don't stop moving Pray to fall fast There you'll find fear Then if you last You'll become love Hard to look up when you're down No perspective from the ground Captured by what you create Your path keeps you from your fate
