Warped Wonder - Epiphanies Lyrics

Boys with brilliance in their eyes
Dulled by years of life's disenchanting cries
Only ever learn to work, buy, and die
On and on along roads that cry
Now and again with rat races and jives
Men marked by desperation in their eyes
Lug around bags with dead boys inside

Wandering men forsake themselves
Scared of the dissonance within the self
Only ever live by fleeing their vices
They're pushed and pulled by their own shadows
Men who's happiness is ever wanting
Lie to themselves today

I was better than them, at least I thought
But that was hubris then, I should've known
I was foolish then and now I know
Ignorance is bliss and pride brings pain
So I look around, I look away
Anything but my reflection today
Oh, I don't wanna see what's wrong with me
No, I don't want to see today
