Ascend

Born of a tendency
To cower in the wake of titans
Ours is to follow, not to lead

In your stead
Here we are again
Wasting energy
Still bored and uninspired

Diffusing
All that we are
And still we persist

If language has failed
And the chorus is rising
Why deny all the evidence?
Who'll be the one to
Save us from this emptiness?

Reciting the Magnum Opus verbatim
Every imperfection purified

All that's left
Is resignation
It's still not too late to abandon this mess

If language has failed
And the chorus is rising
Why deny all the evidence?
Who'll be the one to
Save us from monotony?

Despite it all

Let's unstandardized the form
And reignite the spark
I am ready to ascend

Defining
All that we are
We've rallied for less
