Conspiracy

I feel like here, right here
We were been torn apart
They are all against us
Humans, desires, rules and our fears alike
Humans, knowingly or unknowingly
Breeds distance between us
Our desires and fears
Makes being together hard.

Do you really want me?
I don’t know and can not ask.
Do I really want you?
That’s a question I’m not ready to answer
The universe conspire against us
And mere mortals separate us
I am scared of losing you
Even though you’re not mine to lose.

This conspiracy runs deep
Deeper than the Mariana Trench
Deeper than the hurt we’ve gone through
Attack is the best form of defense
But casting us apart, the universe is
And until we fight back, with aggression
The conspiracy will keep spinning.
