Once twice and again the world closes in Beautiful people fight for their lives loosing more than their share Shame and pride rot their ambitions Filth covers the lovers eyes and all is black and red Animals curl in corners of weary trust Betrayal hits those who obey the hardest Cluttered laziness deminishes the importance of their intellegence Anxioty rages through their veins while they intoxicate their minds External pleasure is placed above internal happiness And in the end they find out none of it made a difference
Like your ending line! Reminds me of Cohen and that awesome closing: Something forgets us/ Perfectly.
