Reduced

This life
As seen through
An unsteady gaze
Drowned out by
Unknown embrace

Sympathy for your plight;
Problem at hand
Mournful and meek
[Curious]

Survival please
Let us, deplete the weak

Breathe it in
Red, we're tied
Flesh and blood
[Killing you]

Infected with
Overwhelmed by
Subjected to
[Inherent greed]

In part you are
Picture perfect

Mixed to matched
Turned up last
You seem complacent
[Miss deformation]

Come along
Happy to toy with
Your mild-mannered dreams
A hole in something
[What]

You perceive
Them to be
Everything but
[Incomplete]

Now asking how
When why is the same
A monotonous journey
Seasoned with gray
[Say you tried]

Covered with
Hidden by
Conformed to
[An uncontrollable need]

Disguised as wise
Faulty intuition
A panic to feed
You're a paranoid breed

A simple solution
Sullied by fine print

An invisible part of me
Sickened by the strangled
Mess we weave
[Destroy]

Nothing that's real
Coincides with what
What you believe
[Say good-bye]
