It's easy to see why

The current

Runs in your direction

Why the darkness lifts

Like burnt fog

Why dreams

Hide in your sleep

Why the atom split

To release your energy

As a slave

Caught in words

Why Eve wanted

A new friend

Why escape is so hard

When you don't give in

Why your mind can't

Break from the grasp

Of the future

Why every bad decision

Builds the towers

Of regret

Why forgiveness tears them down

Why the closest we get

To heaven

Is in our lover's arms

Why we think we're gods

And then just stumble

To the slaughterhouse

Of hope

Why we stare at ceilings

As the walls crumble

down unkind

Why you pass by

One last time

There's always the one last time
