Framed Then Failed

So difficult to embrace or qualify
Find resolve as the earth keeps turning
Don't tell it seems too real
We're satisfied with the lies that we think and feel

Too fine a point to arrange
When dealing with obsession
To put a face on the pain
I will try to embrace it
Can't pull away from the mains
As everyone keeps drowning
This time it's worse than the signs
We framed then failed to identify

There's a cloud like a virulent storm
We justify all the air we're burning
To destroy like a petulant child
What was once so alive in a cultured mind

Clouds line the ethereal sky
But the air's too thin and nobody knows why
Time's gone down on the sentinel's watch
Brace for the fall because it's never going to stop

And we were never in control
With betrayal inside our souls
With no solutions for tomorrow
And it drives me away from my dreams
And broken pieces of today

There's a scene inside my head
I see a world's decay
Can't turn my face away
Or keep up walls of silence
For every mother's child
A commitment to recall
This sentence we submit
A future for us all
