Paragons Of Virtue

We're open-minded but short-sighted

We expect what we want

We all try to act surprised

When it all falls apart

That's no surprise

That's no surprise

We're resolute but still confused

We're counting the cards

We're itemized, prioritized

By how far we can fall

While we compare ourselves to the grandeur of statues

We're lost within ourselves as we play to lose

While we compare ourselves to paragons of virtue

We're lost within ourselves as we play to lose

As we pray to lose

I'm crossing my name off

I'm turning around

I'm disconnected

But glory bound
