Here we lay

At the bottom

Staring with starving eyes

Writhe and reach

For familiar flesh

An orgy of compromise

Fighting for scraps

in the gutter of time

And putting on royal airs

Voices incessant

Lulling us down

We’re willfully unaware

A stasis we now adore

A void from which we cannot return

A truth we can no longer ignore:

Everything burns

Here we make

Our new home

As entropy closes in

Try to reach

Back into the past

Destroying ourselves over and over again

Time

A wheel

Revolving

Unresolved

We have failed

To adapt

To evolve

We’re idiot rats

who won’t flee the ship

Disbelieve that it’s going down

Pretend that it’s what we wanted

Pretend that we don’t deserve to drown

A stasis we now adore

A void from which we cannot return

A truth we can no longer ignore:

Everything burns
