Tell yourself everything little thing will be alright
People make more people the suffering continues
On a thousand year timeline everything dies
On a million year timeline they come back to life
To fight your instinct is to fight your instincts
Fighting is your instinct
On a thousand year timeline everything dies
Fight, fight, fight, brief candle
Tear yourselves apart
On a long enough timeline everything dies

Driven to Extinction

We’ve lost power ignition failed
Kept alive long enough to see them all fade
They were the ones to meant to survive
But look what we have done, look what we have done
Take one last look into their eyes
tell them that you tried, but salvation was a lie, this is all a lie
Not even a
Memory
Not even a
memory in anyone’s mind
We are dust and nothing more

Is anyone out there?
Please send help now
The propellent is spent
Life support is low
The outer rings are cruel
but not cruel as home
We made out it alive
It won’t be that way for long
We’ve eaten the weak ones
No one know who’s next
We used to cry for them
When we used to feel regret
The blasts killed so many
The death was painless and fast
And the winter that followed
Left nothing in it’s path
The other side is waiting

It's Not Giving Up

Don’t be afraid to stab yourself in the throat
You won’t be judged for letting go
The real surprise is that more
don’t open the door and leave
There is hope on the ocean floor
Take the long way down
Pain will not haunt you anymore
Become the sight, become the sound
End the terror the rest is just noise

Have we been here all winter?
Layered in frost and guilt
The fire died long ago
We’ll never see the sun again
No one’s coming to save us
To assume so is hubris
We must accept that we are doomed
Just as we have always been
Abandon the children
we can no longer feed them
Cut off our hands
Cut out our tongues
It’s too late for us
It’s too late for them
The self-culled herd may rise again
To repeat their mistakes

When they dig this all up
Your heart will be dust
Your bones will be warped
Past suffering will be
etched in the dirt
You did not see this coming
You could not see anything
Welcome to the year of the mule
Abandon your self, abandon your faith
The worst is yet to come
We know where this went wrong
Did the open seas, open air
Rain invisible death?
Was it false qualia
Beamed into our minds?
Hear the children calling from their beds
Fearing monsters too small for eyes
But not to small to breathe
They will see themselves in flames
Poured the gas and kerosene
We chipped the flint, we made the spark
They only stare into machines
We have failed
