Worms

The enmity in this dirt Leaves us divided I came back down To look up from the inside At the advent of Our thirst for this illusion The truth lies somewhere near the center Within our reach These consequences bleed through the earth And yet, here we are Broken, fighting This modern warfare Is tearing our souls apart at the seams Can't you see?

The puppet masters clenching their fists Tightening our strings Behind the curtain Are we all actors playing out roles Somewhere on a screen? Are we diseased? I came back down To look up from the inside The truth lies somewhere near the center Within our reach The aforementioned worms carry dirt toward the surface Temporarily suspending the disbelief That we can exist above on the ground With all the creatures These consequences bleed through the earth And yet, here we are Broken, fighting This modern warfare Is tearing our souls apart at the seams Can't you see? What we've become are the worms
