so write it down and give it up
there's nothing left to rise above
the earth is weaker every day
and time has nothing else to say
a moment here's a second gone
the glory people never won
consider youth for all its worth
prepare to age or know rebirth
the soil speaks in human tongue
but you're not hearing anyone
for what a blur is love remade
a trite reprieve so far away
from you and me and us and them
forgive the lie, a detriment
I'm here to say you'll fall asleep
but do not slumber in too deep
you may be sleeping good and well
don't let yourself wake up in hell
