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
