Individual creatures,
Living in communities for evolution's sake,
Out of laziness,
Out of greed.

And The whole world is going to wreck.
They’re growing darker,
The souls here.
Darker with each day passing.

And “I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO MATTERS”
Is the new universal anthem.

And everywhere I look,
They pretend that they’re happy,
With their lives, with their lovers, with themselves.
And it’s all just one big farce.
No one could be that contented.
Surely not?

And everywhere I go I carry my shadow,
Burdened down with memories,
Of a past I’ll choose to forget,
Of a future I can’t quite bear to think of,
Just yet.
