lyrics

They came to make a difference and they have changed quite a bit. The planet unfolds like paper, one surprise after another. Our spirits burn like paper as we remember what we left behind. Three day sunrise as a reminder, we've become aliens and profiteers. We sought and now we've found new gods and strange tides. Who knows what this world will hold. We're starting to learn what it won't. We insist on pretending to be what we're not. To create something monstrous and beautiful, a civilization of savages. Order is forgotten, peace is suspended. We grow like weeds and block out the sun like trees. If we only knew where tomorrow would take us. We waist all our time building beds to sweep our problems under while our brooms break and our dustpans flounder. We create a feedback loop of chaos and resolution, so eager to blame with a guilty smile. We're deviant children with no mother to scold us. We fuck like rabbits. We raise our children like toasters and that's what they become. We burn the world, ice melts, babies plunder, a riot of exhaustion fills the streets. Assembly line erections, digital love connection. We are the new oxygen merchants with caffeinated drones. We auction our souls to the highest bidder. Taste of virginity like bleached sugar. Sober revelations can't match the incarceration level. We're killing our friends, we're killing our lovers, we're killing our children, we're killing our parents, we're killing our gods and killing our world. We no longer think of what we will inevitably destroy. We took to the skies for a brighter future. The dream was stillborn.
