Analysis of Burden to covet

We seek to dream of nothing, yet something won't allow
Shackled to forever, we're betrayed by the end somehow
Broken is the onslaught our souls have begged to be
Never is the arrival of our final destiny

Forced to be the keepers of a most unwanted joy
We fail to reach the impasse, so wanting to destroy
Haunting us are shadows we will not own today
Denied a cure of sleep by the gods to which we pray

Reaching forth together in a world of laughing kin
Fighting for belief of a darkness deep within
Inheritors of vanity are what we are in all
Promised an atrocity towards the life we call

Our favorite curiosity involves the end we trust
Never to deliver what we simply beg it must
Given onto longing is our ever joining hope
That we shall reach the end of life's precious slope

So continues our obsession, yet obscure appears the goal
Over this, our torment, we cannot gain control
Nothing is a passion that something will not warrant
And it has now become a burden for us to even covet
