Sonnets of Ruin
How many days can we waste on the same tired ideas?
What would you sacrifice for what you believe
When in the blink of an eye, all we know could disappear
Would it be worth it to know what you've achieved
And what if all we fought for
And what if all we built was all gone in a flash leaving a void so empty
Would any of it matter?
Would anybody care?
If only we knew the truth of our impending catastrophe
It could all be for nothing
Another day closer to suicide
We're singing sonnets of ruin
In our final days when planets collide
Do you dream of love
Do you dream of being complete
Have you ever known peace
Or is that just another one of your dreams
Now if we could see ourselves
Foolishly search for meaning, creating lessons and commandments so arbitrary
Could we learn from our mistakes?
Or deserve another chance?
Are we just doomed to keep repeating history
So many questions left unanswered. So many plans for a future we'll never see
So many stories never told. We're left unfulfilled by a life of mediocrity
I wouldn't care if it all went away
This fucking world is dead to me
How many days can we waste on the same tired ideas?
What would you sacrifice for what you believe
When in the blink of an eye, all we know could disappear
Would it be worth it to know what you've achieved
And what if all we fought for, and what if all we built was all gone
In a flash leaving a void so empty
Would any of it matter?
Would anybody care?
If only we knew the truth of our impending catastrophe
Emptiness. Just going through the motions, fucking dead inside
Buried and gasping for air inside a shallow grave
We've become a distant memory so meaningless in our endless pursuit of wealth
Digging deep to reach a place that still has light. Painful torment creeps from within
It could all be for nothing
Another day closer to suicide
We're singing sonnets of ruin
In our final days when planets collide
It could all be for nothing
Another day closer to suicide
We're singing sonnets of ruin
In our final days when planets collide
What would you sacrifice for what you believe
When in the blink of an eye, all we know could disappear
Would it be worth it to know what you've achieved
And what if all we fought for
And what if all we built was all gone in a flash leaving a void so empty
Would any of it matter?
Would anybody care?
If only we knew the truth of our impending catastrophe
It could all be for nothing
Another day closer to suicide
We're singing sonnets of ruin
In our final days when planets collide
Do you dream of love
Do you dream of being complete
Have you ever known peace
Or is that just another one of your dreams
Now if we could see ourselves
Foolishly search for meaning, creating lessons and commandments so arbitrary
Could we learn from our mistakes?
Or deserve another chance?
Are we just doomed to keep repeating history
So many questions left unanswered. So many plans for a future we'll never see
So many stories never told. We're left unfulfilled by a life of mediocrity
I wouldn't care if it all went away
This fucking world is dead to me
How many days can we waste on the same tired ideas?
What would you sacrifice for what you believe

Would it be worth it to know what you've achieved
And what if all we fought for, and what if all we built was all gone

It could all be for nothing
Another day closer to suicide
We're singing sonnets of ruin
In our final days when planets collide
It could all be for nothing
Another day closer to suicide
We're singing sonnets of ruin
In our final days when planets collide
