Erosion

I feel the water running
Washing away the soil
Surrounding my feet
I cannot stay upright at all

With every melting iceberg
The rivers spread wider
Through currents we've fought
But soon they will grow too strong

Constant force scraping
Away what's meant to be
Even the static will move
They are now too great for us

As we slowly fade away
The last thing for us
Is to look back and see
All the things that we could have been

Face the feeling, you're going numb
Time will wear your true self to pieces
Face the ageless and leave it behind
It makes sure you're the defect and ruins you

In a moment you won't feel the pain
Only time will consume the surface
In a moment all progress was in vain
'Cause none of us will stay this perfect

All, all of us
Erode like sand
Where the question arises
Which wears faster?
The bird or the nest

None, none of us
Rise from the ground
Where the question arises
What kills them both?
The bird and the nest

I see the earth crumble
Exposing the roots
Swept off our feet
Like forests become driftwood

We ran from the death we dealt
But it caught up with us
Land turns to sea
Faster than feathers to scales

As future escapes us
Time flies faster than light
Eons to years
And I feel just as dead

Face the feeling, you're going numb
Only time will wear your confidence
Face the ageless, eroded like you
'Cause it makes sure that you're the defect

In a moment you won't feel the pain
Only time will consume the surface
In a moment all progress was in vain
'Cause none of us will stay this perfect

All, all of us
Erode like sand
Where the question arises
Which wears faster?
The bird or the nest

None, none of us
Rise from the ground
Where the question arises
What kills them both?
The bird and the nest

All regrets and all our victories in vain
Erode like sand
Every single memory
Erosion takes it all

All regrets and all our victories in vain
Erode like sand
Every single memory
Erosion takes it all

Every aspiration so
Hopelessly erodes like sand
Everyone we've ever loved
Erosion takes it all
