We crawl forth on the shore
bright freckles never more
Passion bound by need
the emptiness now we feed
Bounding and smiling
swapped with struggle and strife
innocence is a lie
everyone fights for their life
Alone and confused
afraid and sans sight
we murder our kindness
to gain needed might
Hope--though muted--we still carry
in public we play submissive
in private it's survival we marry
