This is a
rotten place
Drifting through endless space
We’re extinct
Sunflowers trapped in shade, decaying
We’re tearing books apart
To make fires out of art
Come undone, scatter
Since there’s no sense in staying
Cause when
the sunlight dies down
Into the darkness we drown
Our senses fading away
No hope of staying sane
People are
warlike
Always ready to strike
Hold your breath
Don’t make a move, someone is after you
You’re on the battleground
Don’t you dare make a sound
Play dead
Say your prayer, lose yourself to despair
When
the cogwheel stops turning
Cracked asphalt, oil burning
Our faces painted in fear
The end of time is here
They say it wouldn’t kill you to smile
That you’re always too serious
But bitterness suits you so well
And you’re hard to resist when you’re furious
When your eyes turn black in rage
And the fear turns into apathy
It always takes me by surprise
To see a change in your morality
Dare I say it’s enticing?
I can’t get enough of it
To see you so hungry with anger
It’s not enough with just one hit
When you’re looking for something to tackle
No one is standing in your way
There’s a storm brewing in you
Will it turn into a hurricane?
You seem to know something
So pardon me if I stare
You may stay silent for a while
But there’s something brooding in there
