Oh it's looking like a lost cause

Beyond today

A code of confidence

Setting a precedent

Stay in a present state of mind

With no permanence

No matter of consequence

There's no future to rely

Designs that confine

Pressure til the end

All eyes will define

However it may end

Oh it's looking like a lost cause

Beyond today

Have no evidence

Acting in my defense

Of how the forces will align

While not in the present tense

Becoming evident

Of an eventual demise

Designs that confine

Pressure til the end

All eyes will define

However it may end

Pressure til the end

Never to condemn

Forever to defend

However it may end

More scars appear on my face

Causing more scars in the future state

A lost cause of the past

Looking like a lost cause in the end
