Eras

The mercury falls
With the cold kiss
Of our crystallized hearts
Cutting with the lies
Killing with the betrayals
We have all known pain
This world teaches hate
Teaches deceit
Teaches broken dreams
We will fucking
End this

We will never know
All the love we leave hanging
By the throat
Of this rope
That's out of reach
From the ones who need it the most
But our lies leave them suspended
Rotted at the core
From the betrayals
We chose to ignore

Broken mirrors
They Reflect us
They reflect us

Stare through the cracks
At the lives that we perceive to
Create this distorted vision
Staring at the cracks staring at the lies
Staring at the face that creates our falsehoods
Our falsehoods

We will never know
All the love we leave hanging
By the throat
Of this rope
That's out of reach
From the ones who need it the most
But our lies leave them suspended
Rotted at the core
From the betrayals
We chose to ignore

All it takes is an ear willing to listen
And a voice willing to speak
To save a life

This is the end
Of an era
This is
The end
Countless victims pointing their fingertips
At the broken lives that we have created, faded
Destroyed
Everything we love, made in denying shame
Depression destroys us all as our minds collapse
Drowning at the bottom of every bottle
Create, destroy, recreate, redeploy, realign
We're killing our selves
This is, the end

We will never know
All the love we leave hanging
By the throat
Of this rope
That's out of reach
From the ones who need it the most
But our lies leave them suspended
Rotted at the core
From the betrayals
We chose to ignore

Open your eyes
And know the signs
Let's end these
Eras of self destruction
