The memory burns in my mind, the question of existence
The fear that comes with mortality, the fear we can't defeat
Death casts a dark shadow, how easily we forget
Killing time and all eternity, we somehow live to regret
Disinterest, contempt, and inertia, the mechanics of extinction
The scars that mark our conflicts increase with our attrition
They say there's strength in numbers
But unfortunately we can't count
We all drink the poison that seethes in our veins
Apathy is the solution
Existing where hope is lost
The hands of all that hate us
Composing our holocaust
Preparing for tomorrow's ruin
Slowly the balance decays
From my space in time, i can see the end
A shadow, among shades of grey
The desire has exceeded the means
The means have exceeded the reason
Linked by ignorance, nothing is sacred
The chain of mediocrity has begun
The sands fall through our fingers
Yet we don't close our hands
In a spectrum so broad, all we see is grey
Our technology has surpassed our humanity
As the futility of life prevails
Do we begin the draw to our end?
Answer the question, question the answer
All that's left to say, is better left unsaid
The virus becomes our curse, consuming the final hope
The corpses of an era descend upon obscure
Forgotten, forsaken, fallen from grace
When did we surrender?
