The same autophages as always

This time around hunger abounds

Biological adaptation

Generational punishment

Imposed on prey

Adaptive mimetism

Will it be enough?

Will we survive,

Or will we perish?

Devolve on the river of this life

Swimming in a watershed of bones

You must devour your kin

You must devour your kin

Every day I wonder

When will I stop

Drowning in visions

When will they suffer the scourge

Of the people they created

Of the people they created

My only desire

Is for autophages to devour themselves

In frantic compulsion

Fin by fin and scale by scale

Shards of flesh

Choking on nameless stones

On nameless stones

And thus…

Adaptive mimetism

Will it be enough?

Will we survive,

Or will we perish?

Devolve on rivers of this life

Swimming in a watershed of bones

You must devour your kin

You must devour your kin

It was always adapting or perishing

As we drown in the current

It was always adapting or perishing

And thus…

We drown.
