Residue worn to dust
A display of expectations
Yet fate has not changed
Spoken or proclaimed
While mindset absorbs
Contorting surroundings
And what's received
Chewed up, spit out, results
With the same response
Of inching forward
It's always been this way
The pulse of ruin
Planted years ago
With neglect instinct
Comparison never lifts the burden
Sustaining for a deeper fall
Just like envy
It's all a waste
Draining the hour glass
Reaping time and thoughts
Till extinction
Corruption, or a lack of face
Extinction, corruption, or a lack of face
While mindset absorbs
Contorting surroundings
And what's received
Chewed up, spit out, results
