The Spectacle

Mourning

The Spectacle


As we continue to drive on 
to pile on and pile on 
there are miles of wasteland behind us 
and we are going around 
one day its going to catch up 
a machine with no breaks on 
green grass will be long gone 
a few angry screams can't be heard, can't hear a word 
through the noise louder and louder and luder 
as the grass no longer makes it through 
we keep piling on 

iron teeth sink into soil 
and the clouds are now black smoke 
are you content with the world? 
as you choke 

some have been crying for centuries 
while others collected the salt 
some just shrug their sholders 
and pave the earth with asphalt 
the end of this road is soon to come 
no saviour or a chosen one 
all leaves are turning brown 
but this is not autumn, this is fall 

when you family is burning 
when your world is turning 
don't look at me 
I told you so
