They used to live in our stories

Now they're among us here

Claiming this was never ours

Just another mistake

An error that just can't be fixed

Extinction was read on their lips

We watched it all so blind and ignorant

We were never supposed to come this far

For dust you are

And to dust you shall return

We're just another mistake

In the eyes of the fallen

We should be

Forgotten, forsaken

Denied eternity

We watched it unfold

Our story untold

Were we oblivious to it all?

Time

Erase our names

Dissipating in the winds

Of indifference

Yearning for the better slowly brought us here

We watched it all unfold

Now we're subsisting in their stories, belonging to their tale

Maybe we always did?

The pages turning

The chapters burning

Wave function collapses

Into the memory hole

We watched it unfold

Our story untold

What was the purpose of it all?

Time

Erase our names

We're dissipating in the winds of indifference

Yearning for the better slowly brought us here

We watched it all unfold

Now we're subsisting in their stories, belonging to their tale

Maybe we always did?

We watched it all so blind and ignorant

It fell apart, too frail and delicate
