Monadic Lyrics

I'm tired of blaming

A margin of error

On outcomes predestined

Of faults that are collective

An orchard was sewn

Irrigated in segregation

I'm tired of living

Like the cause is not of the heart

We receive the blessing of selfishness

From the forked tongue

To the clean hands

To the soured lips

To the nakedness of age

I've built a dam around me

To stop my empathy

From spilling down to nowhere

Like those who came before

Each day it cracks a hairline

Gets resealed like a fault line

I've molded this seclusion

Like I'm better off alone

Coerced into silence

Because we're tired of screaming

To a gull that will one day

Just turn and fly south

Our flock is not dying

They're just losing interest

So I just stop speaking

And build up this dam

At the end of days

We'll forget our friends

There is nothing like

Sweet eternal life
