Unwanted Deceit

Dedicated to Cameron Mo

We sleep-walked through miles
Of treacherous blame

We accepted the flaws
All the lies
As they came

And we dreamt
Different dreams
While we slept through the pain

I dreamt to be freed
And you dreamt
To be them

That percentage of listeners
Dwindling thin
The clouding of judgment
The death all within

The sample sizes
Of excuses– clichés

The survey conducted
Statistics portrayed

The chance of you changing
Becoming the shame
Will always be higher
Than escaping the game
