On the brink

Sun, 01/25/2015 - 20:30 -- mayafm

And the truth of the moment

Won't sustain us everlong.

Our life as it is,

We may not always know.

In this reality,

We condone injustice,

Numbed by the lies

That have torn us apart.

Surviving.

Existing.

Until,

The 

Lies 

Build

Piling atop one another

Until the pressure is too much

It's growing, the dial is measuring incredible increases

And we're only equipped for so much, on the brink of diaster

We're at capacity! And there's nothing left but to 

explode.
