Before It Explodes

You said
Men were meant to be free
But you forgot that we chained ourselves

Settled down in towns and drowned the fertile ground for our needs
And filed down our teeth
And we learned to burn and turn the wheels of this world
To satisfy our greed
So we multiplied and relied on others to provide
And we tied our lives to the dirt to help us move forward
Our dependence grew like a blight
A malign paradigm of relying on a ticking time bomb to supply us what we need to escape the shackles that we let Ourselves create

Society writhes
Under the weight
Of all the lies
We use to justify our waste
Waste
Yeah

I take a deep breath in and feel the rain begin
Wondering why we still pretend that we deserve what we've been given
When we're still denying truths and supplying the youth with nothing left to fight the fires of burning all our roots
The priority of progress is to process all we see for profits
Even as the real prophets realize our prospects are dwindling
A reactive play by a staggering state will not be enough to staunch the bleeding
We can't unwire
This situation is dire
The resources expiring
There's no time left to be liars

Society writhes
Under the weight
Of what we deny
We use to justify our waste
Waste
But now it's too late
It's too late
Now it's too
Late
As earth crumbles around us
We must reap the fruits of our lust
How could you think you could profit infinitely
Exploiting your own unsustainability

Society dies
Crushed by the weight
Of what we denied
Until it was much too late
