This plight so ominous; ubiquitous
Pierces through our valence with ease
Insufferably, in each waking moment
No practice of mind; no strength to placate
can ever save us from the horrors we face coalesced
Come away from your tethered existence
Fully recognize the imminent extinction right before your eyes
Each precious daughter & son
Born into promises so far remiss
As all erodes, we canonize this fate
through thoughtless acquiescence
Long overdue, a branded reckoning we're sold,
Such a fucking farce yet we all know it
Lament our deliberate descent
this placid gaze ever haunting me
Indifferently, as our time ticks away
We are living in a wasteland of our on creation
Distorted to fit this paradigm
Kill them slow
Fractured by an anomalous convergence
I am one with the shadow within
No hope for a chance of recompense
The damage laid bare for all to see
Cold silence from all directions
They’re pointing to the grave
Oh God, how did I ever let it come to this?
Why should I fight the urge to make myself just go away?
