Everlasting Light

The countless times we fall to ruin.

These myriad days are so relentless.

It isn't everyone's frailty

to stop functioning and stop breathing.

Sway with the waves, with the waves change,

and we'll find our way back to the shore when it's over.

The never content sensation

of a tapeworm drug looking for its angry fix.

Will mutual fear bring us peace?

Is ruining your day ruining your life?

What happened to my noisy planet?

When did the sun go nova?

In dim light I can tell by the hollow look in your eyes.

Using technology to live on this slow night.

I'm starting to realize I'll die long before.

I've done it before, to become extinct.

I've done it before, I'll become extinct.

Crunch the numbers till we become sick.
