[Intro]

Oh

The year's I've spent

Searching for a way out

We all need a moment to

Reflect on our lives

Time

Moves so quickly

Thousands of years fly by

And I

Feel neither dead nor alive


[Verse 1]

I know

You're feeling lost

I feel

The same way

This bleak

World we live in

Today

Will never

Be

The

Same

We have to learn to change

Or fall

Beneath the waves


[Verse 2]

We

Live in a decaying

Society that was not meant

To last

We were born into

A dying world as

Wage slaves

Faster and faster

We plummet towards the end

Of our

Pale blue orb


[Verse 3]

We destroyed our home

There won't be a next

They don't care at all

They'll never turn their heads

Nobody will remain

To remember your name

To ash and dust

We return


[Verse 4]

If we can't change our ways

We will plunged into

Nothingness

Oblivion, we return


[Verse 5]

We still have time

Only if our greed dies

I don't know

How else we'd survive

This world

Wasn't created to last

Our lifespan

Short in comparison

Like language

We evolve throughout time

We must adapt

To this life

Throughout our lives

We experience different pain

I hope to see you

Thriving again


[Verse 6]

We can't seem to understand

Why we're still suffering like this

We can't seem to understand

Why we're still suffering like this


[Verse 7]

Our history spirals around

In deadly cycles

Our society was built upon

Slavery and warfare

We are oppressed

Yet

Told to change our lives

While corporations feed

Our

Oceans plastic

Too many responsible for the

Loss of our future

They won't even be here

To see our world falling down
