One, one less, one less life
One less life for us to live
Holding, holding on
Holding on to something real

If these, if these walls
If these walls could talk to me
What if all these eyes
Only saw what they believed

Two heavy, heavy hearts
Heavy hearts refuse to beat
When my, when my words
When my words fall on deaf ears

If your, if your soul
if your soul could cry for me
What if all we give
Is all we ever get to keep?

WHEN?
We left behind the friends we made along the way
Why is it we never learn from all the mistakes we ever make?

An amazing lucky dip song commission from   origami-orange inspired by one of my favorite songs, "Invasion" by Haken. The lyrics revolve around the anxiety of living in an imperfect world, which Carnelia embodies to a T. No matter how hard she tries, all of her efforts are set back by the selfish whims of others. She is no longer asking for Utopia: she is demanding it.
