Stand up straight to push away
These failures made to move along
More cobwebs grown to seize the day
Disgraced in time for what went wrong
Now suffocate the rising tide
Designs we all thought bullet proof
Reactions that once blew your mind
Were nothing more than misconstrued
So you know we're always waiting for
Some evidence to come
Still chasing down the answers but
Our legs don't seem to run
If you go to take a picture, please
Don't pretend it's black and white
We've raised these stakes to wash it clean
Down the drain and out of sight
While ego trumps so many things
Our ink stains racing through the dark
Like coal transformed for diamond rings
With every pathway made of sparks
This key is to your kingdom but
It won't unlock your heart
So you know we're always waiting for
Some evidence to come
Still chasing down the answers but
Our legs don't seem to run
If you go to take a picture, please
Don't pretend it's black and white
We've raised these stakes to wash it clean
Down the drain and out of sight
Each word kept so contrite
Currently our currencies
They're stretched out in defense
While everywhere the helpless stare
Convince it makes no sense
