| VIRTUE |
| I'm buried under everything You've piled up on me Drowning me in a sea Of useless data and lost meaning I fumble my way up And breathe the dirty air I choke it down As I slip further in |
| You should help me out Pull a book off my head But you just discard my screams And add a slip to my pile Is this what I've wanted Crushed to pulp by virtue No more for me I'll just walk away |
| Everyone is lost to me Their barren lives Feel enriched as they stare At the things I'll never have And my spite for all of them Is stronger than it has been Since the day I first stared Into their dead, hollow eyes |
| It's taking its toll As I stare at my reflection Seeing the decay One day, I'll be there And I won't even know |
