With each thoughtless step the floor sings a quiet reminder
A weight to carry
The floor sings a quiet reminder
Scratch and scrape at the illusive surface
A grief stricken anatomy resides below
Its cities and streets have been choked
By clouds of black ash and smoke
The trade has been made and we will burn for sure
We will burn for sure
The crackling of splintering wood echoes across the leveled earth
As you venture about for forgiveness
Merciless depletion. Carnivorous consumption
And still your pursuits seek absolution void solutions
Commodified conservation, posthumous restitution.
A death together seeking restitution
Die together, pray for return
Die together, pray for return
Remember with each thoughtless step you ruined the world.
Shame on you.
You labeled lives as living units of production. You're a living unit of destruction.
Now all you have consumed grins as the earth's cavernous jaws open to take you back.
There's a roof over all our heads And it's slowly caving in There's a cop behind my shoulder Watching what i do A car crash mindset A straw house waiting for the hurricane an itch you'll never scratch a wall you'll never climb a whisper in your ear that never goes away a dream that you will never ever ever wake from lying on a bed made of glass myopic and miserable the loneliness will grow the roof will just collapse and it only gets worse from there the only light i see now is the glow of a screen the promise of a world that i can't touch can't feel can't see inconsequential ephemeral digital
