lyrics

Run out of breath
It’s all been spent
Time lapse rot fast
Feeding off debt
Convinced it’s for others to fix

Displaced by apathy
Turned away Toward garbage peaks
Ivory towers
Suspect desire

Like stars falling fast
So too soon this will collapse
They’ll just say it’s not right
But progress will get us by
You’ll be sitting in shit
Before the sun begins to rise
Watching the whole world burn
Right before our eyes
There’s rhythm disruptions
But not enough this time
When money is screaming
Obstructing, misleading
There’s so much more than
What the surface implies
Is it worth it to shelter
Behind passive eyes

Before the sun burns out
And the sky descends
Before the waters dry up
And we reach the end

Ready yourselves
Ready yourselves
While the earth is still breathing
Drag them straight to hell

Sky dust and wavering tenses
Designed to set fires
To the lives we’ve been living
How can we be expected to breathe?
Air filled with ashes, soot and hot wax
Can this ever be taken back?

Void of life
A spoiled home filled with fumes and gas
Of a planet long past
Sitting illuminated by the fiery glow of oil gardens
Extermination is another man’s wealth
Replacing a home
