Too sick to be ashamed

But the planet held.
“Curious,” The Architect stated, “That has never happened. We’ve never needed a second arrow before.”

The Architect relaxed, looking at her.
“Perhaps this was a sign. Somebody’s Prism held that planet together. They could prove useful to us.”
The Architect waited.
“Go. Find them. Bring them to me.”
“Let’s see if Earth is worth my time.”

Show me how it ends, it’s alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
Well, that’s alright, let’s give this another try
