Pull the plug

We seek atonement
reverse all as Nature had Intended
alter the flow of the river
we hide in gloomy corners
whispering our first names to strangers

We search for truth
upon the greater good
against the relentless time
the solitude of our existence
the agony before the drop

We alienate ourselves
for the good of others
they scorned us with false testimony
send us to the oblivion
the untold sentence

Pull the plug
let us sink into helplessness
no names in stone
no recall of heroes
Just the rain washed us out

Because we are given
to suffer for our own mistakes
loving the wrong person
having the wrong heart
looking the absent eyes

We are the misguided ones
spitting blood
losing battles from an ulterior war
we forget our elders
we forget our sons

No one is singing songs about us
it's just the unbearable silent
the line is going flat
no expectations
no memory remains
