Remnants

We might not breathe but keep existing
In flesh we'll vanish but we stay by mind
We're not racing but we're finishing last
Forever lost in timeless conflict

Don't waste this time
Cause you get no retries
Don't think that this is a permanent marking
It's temporary
And there's no going back

Make no mistake

By the time we're all gone for good
When all the planets have turned to dust
No one will remember who you were
And what you've done

To whom it may concern
The world needs to change
Outdated views
Outdated expectations
Remnants of the past remain

This is a constant
It will remain the same

I thought that we were past this point
But it seems we're falling apart
We've come to drop progress in favor of stagnation

Pictures of an uncertain future
Cover up our imperfections
We prefer to bury our head in the sand
Opting to believe in a lie
That life is not slipping by

Only in hindsight you keep on wishing
That you had done things differently

By the time we're all gone for good
And all the planets have turned to dust
No one will remember who you were
And what you've done

What you've done
No one will remember you

Your truth forever hidden
Behind your promises
Irretrievable although existing
Your truth never forgotten

Never forgotten
