Liable For Tragedy
Artifex Pereo Lyrics

We baited hooks with subtle reward in mind.
We deliberately set up enticing situations with the intention of gaining something in return.

Little mattered then, still, little matters now.
The situation was not important then, and it still holds little significance.

The plans we made were designed to perpetuate through snakes of life.
Our strategies were meant to continue through all the unpredictable difficulties that life presents.

We left too much faith in the pieces to fall into place while we spent the meantime carving our own ways. Little choice we had then. Nothing but choices to make now.
We relied too heavily on things happening naturally while we focused on our own activities. We had limited options at the time, but now we have many choices to make.

If I'm anything like you, before we can decide another day has passed, Hand over hand.
If I share traits with you, time passes quickly before we know it.

And if you're anything like me, we're trying to catch up to fleeting frames, Headlong into sand.
If you're similar to me, we're struggling to keep up with the rapid pace of events, crashing headfirst into problems.

It's just like us to wait until we're full of what we need to say, Now we're floating off to where we thought we'd never be.
It’s typical of us to hold back our emotions until we have an overflow of feelings which take us to unexpected places.

Your kid's strings are stretching weak.
Your connections and relationships have weakened.

This distance is unraveling.
This physical or emotional gap is breaking apart our bond.

Please, still see, that happiness is there for you to reach. You left it where it waits for you to climb.
Remember, there’s still a chance for you to be happy. You just have to work hard to achieve it because it's already there waiting for you.

How endowed we are to be alive.
We are truly blessed to be alive.

Let their songs sing you home.
Let other people’s encouragement and support guide you towards the right path.

The heartstrings hooked in your throat will land you right where you were always supposed to be, transcending pity held for you or me.
The deep emotions that move us will lead us to the destination we were always meant to reach, surpassing any sensations of sympathy or compassion that either of us hold.

We will always want, they're the ones that need.
We will forever have desires, while others around us have genuine necessities that require immediate attention.
