Liable for Tragedy - Artifex Pereo

We baited hooks with subtle reward in mind

Little mattered then, still, little matters now

The plans we made were designed to perpetuate through snakes of life

We left too much faith in the pieces to fall into place while we spent the

meantime carving our own ways

Little choice we had then, nothing but choices to make now

If I’m anything like you, before we can decide another day has passed,

hand over hand

And if you’re anything like me, you’re trying to catch up to fleeting frames

Headlong into sand

It’s just like us to wait until we’re full of what we need to say

And now we’re floating off to where we thought we’d never be

Your kid’s strings are stretching weak

This distance is unraveling

Please, still see, that happiness is there for you to reach

You left it where it waits for you to climb

How endowed we are to be alive

Let their songs sing you home

The heartstrings hooked in your throat will land you right where you were

always supposed to be

Transcending pity held for you or me

We will always want, but they’re the ones that need
