We Are Here / We Were Here

Are we just gonna be another unheard of band?
Drowning in the ocean of great potentialed mans
Before we reach the successful
Musical
Land!

Well if that's the case
Well then that's okay
Because

We
Are here!
Writing songs, making music, being creative
We are here!
Playing games, watching movies, masturbating
We are here!
Self hating, binge eating, quarantining
We are here!
Being smart, being dumb, politically debating
We are here!

And it don't matter if our songs fall on deaf ears
'Cause right now in this moment
We are here!

And we're fucking having fun

But I know
I know one day we won't be
There'll come a point
Where our lives
Will no longer be
And all that'll be left
Will be scattered and compressed
And partially inaccurate memories

And
Eventually

When the seemingly inevitable heat death of the universe happens
Many eons from now
And when the last semblances of life
Have all died out
And the only thing that left is the cold, crushing, emptiness
It still won't change the fact that

We were here!
Using tools, making wheels, discovering fire
We were here!
Creating art, spreading love, becoming liars
We were here!
Leaving the cradle, making borders, diversifying
We were here!
Creating language, growing food, specializing
We were here!
Building pyramids, mosques, churches, temples, steeples
We were here!
Waging wars, enslaving animals and peoples
We were here!
Navigating, sailing seas, flying planes
We were here!
Building rockets, dropping bombs, going insane
We were here!
Making computers, improving science, denying science
We were here!
Having rude, racist, fearful, ugly bias
We were here!
Overproducing, throwing garbage in the seas
We were here!
Reducing, reusing, recycling, trying to go plastic free!
We were here!

And it don't matter that we're gonna disappear
'Cause nothing can change the fact that

We were here!

We are here
We were here
We are here
We were here
We are here
We were here
We are here
We were here
We are here
We were here
We are here
We were here
We are here

We are here
We were here
We are here
We were here
We are here
We were here
We are here
We were here
We are here
We were here
We are here
We were here
We are here
We were here
We are here
We were here
We are here
We were here
We are here
We were here
We are here
We were here

We were here
We are here
We were here
We are here
We were here
We are here
We were here
We are here
We were here
We are here
We were here
We are here
We were here
We are here
We were here
We are here
We were here
We are here
We were here
We are here
We were here

We are here now
And we will always have been here
Nothing can change that
And that means something
So stop crying
Get out of bed
And go live your fucking life
