Entropia

Cut down the apple tree
Did anger get the best of me?
One day we'll disappear
And leave no trace that we were here
Virtue swallowed by violence
Progress buried beneath our loudest trait
Break down what isn't yours
The sight of gold and needless wars
Dehumanize your friends
The harshest means for meager ends
I never tried to be like this
But recently I have had such haunting dreams

Wait
As they fell
Serfs and statesmen, faced with Hell
Hastened doom, they, panic-stricken
Turned against those who failed to listen
Oh

I wake up in a sweat
Regret what hasn't happened yet
Gave them no thought at first
But things have gone from bad to worse
I've grown obsessed with the future
Current affairs don't concern me anymore

Wait
Every night
I speak to those who survived
They have found a way to correct
All our self-destructive defects
Yeah

One pill, that's all it is
They say it works just like a sieve
All that we need remains
While sentiments are washed away
Emotions just hold us captive
They're hindrances to the progress we deserve

Wait
There's no catch
Just the future in our grasp
You're afraid, and, so was I, dear
It's been ages since I've known fear
Yeah
