Pyramid Scheme

Gripping the top from afar
So many people places and things to climb over
It's a wonder you got this far
Don't stop to look back
At the bodies, the void, your path
it's a wonder it lasted this far
Is the top where it's at
Is the top the solution to loneliness
poverty, sickliness?
It's a wonder you believed it this long
that the weak crumble beneath
that to get to the top makes you strong.
Whose left when you get there
what's left to fight for
what breath left to breathe?
Your life, you passed it
your destiny was ages ago
You were to busy to see.
