Bleak

It’s not looking good
We can’t grasp the basics
Our chances are slim
We might as well face it
Power corrupts
A frail social species
A collective in pieces
Tyrannical mammals
Our prospects are bleak
Sound the alarm
Brace for impact
Too little too late
Self-inflicted attack
Forget Revelations
A steady decline
Began when we first said
That’s yours, this is mine

Dominion
01:32
|
|||
|
Human dominion, says who?
No other species asked to be ruled
We all know who’s the pest
Constant debasement
Relationships wasted
Could have embraced it
We lose
|

Human Resources
01:17
|
|||
|
You're wasting precious
Bio-fuel
Consuming yourselves
Already spent
Wasted every cent
Already spent
It came and it went
Commodified
Our very lives
The wells ran dry
Human resources
Misdirected forces

Everybody's Stressed
02:30
|
|||
|
Keep stirring the cauldron
Bring it to boil
Threats multiplying
In constant recoil
Everybody’s stressed
You’re not making it easy
It’s unnecessary
We don’t have the skills
When daily life became scary
|

To New Beginnings
01:44
|
|||
|
No matter what happens
This matters to me
In a hollowed out world
Build family
A hostile planet
Alone in the deep
Cannot extinguish
The rituals we keep
A new bit of growth
To nurture well
A fresh chance to flourish
More hearts to swell
Somehow the darkness
Just makes us burn brighter
Onward it rages
Because lovers are fighters
|

Still Here
02:11
|
|||
|
To live
That’s good enough
Just to survive
That’s pretty tough
It’s ok, you made it, you’re still here
To thrive
Takes all you’ve got
But what else would you do?
Begin to rot?
