Rise and Fall

We rise and fall
Then forget it ever happened at all
Over and over again
We never learn
That the flame will burn
The pain is always exactly the same
⟢⟡⟣
We wander far
Chasing shooting stars
Always ending up helplessly lost
We never take the time
To read the warning signs
No matter what may be the cost
⟢⟡⟣
We let the psychopaths
Always have the last laugh 
Never understanding why they always win
We let evil thrive
At the cost of our lives
Always letting it walk right in
⟢⟡⟣
When the ending comes
It can't be undone
The chains have already been cast
The time was here
But we cowered in fear
Only to repeat the past
