Denial filled the lake

This dam's about to break

Our hubris pulls the shades

But cannot stop the spate

It's coming

It's mowing down

It's only purpose is to put us in the ground

Our time is fleeting, so use it well

The longest journey is back through hell

We search our lives for meaning

Some truth behind the feeling

We tie the tourniquet of greiving

But nothing stops the bleeding

We will not suffer anymore

If we accept that death is at the door

We take our chances and sins in kind

Our fickle actions are lost in time

We pray for future to cleanse our crimes

A species consumed by it's own mind

We beg for something freeing

Some escape from all the needing

We're trapped inside our own derangement

But it won't change if we don't change it

We must take back our time

And elevate our minds

Above the foolish thoughts

That decimate our lives

Denial filled the lake

This dam's about to break

Our hubris pulls the shades

But cannot stop the spate

We must take back our time

And elevate our minds

We cannot stop the spate

We cannot stop the spate
