Atlas's Suicide

So lemme get this straight
You put a poison in the rain
And then you set the woods aflame
So that you could make your numbers
Bigger than everyone else's numbers
At what point did you decide
That power alone wasn't worth your time?
It's Atlas's suicide or it's nothing for you
But I can't get off of your ride

I can't fucking breathe
Without a biohazard mask across my mouth
Cause the toxic flood about to inundate my hometown, yeah
I can't see the sun without a hazmat bodysuit
To shield myself from the world outside
As I watch 'em burning it to the ground, yeah
And when you are able, able, able
Could you nurse me back to health
Cause this dying planet can't
And when I am stable, stable, stable
Can you assure me that this hell
Is something less than permanent

So tell me all of the truth
When you found out what it would do
Did you stop for a second to choose
To be a monster
Or have you always been
Just a scared little snakelet
In a suit too big for you
You own everything but your malevolence
You couldn't handle it if you tried (If you tried)
I wanna laugh, but I can't even cry

Because I can't fucking breathe
Without a biohazard mask across my mouth
Cause the toxic flood about to inundate my hometown, yeah
I can't see the sun without a hazmat bodysuit
To shield myself from the world outside
As I watch 'em burning it to the ground, yeah
And when you are able, able, able
Could you nurse me back to health
Cause this dying planet can't
And when I am stable, stable, stable
Can you assure me that this hell
Is something less than permanent

Tell me there's something after
Tell me there's something after this
Tell me they haven't killed us
Give me a reason to persist
Tell me there's something
Tell me there's life in the ashes
Something to believe in

When I can't fucking breathe
Without a biohazard mask across my mouth
Cause the toxic flood about to inundate my hometown, yeah
I can't see the sun without a hazmat bodysuit
To shield myself from the world outside
As I watch 'em burning it to the ground, yeah
And when you are able, able, able
Could you nurse me back to health
Cause this dying planet can't
And when I am stable, stable, stable
Can you assure me that this hell
Is something less than permanent

When you are able, able, able
Could you nurse me back to health
Because this murdered world can't
And when I am stable, stable, stable
Can you assure me that this hell
Is something less than permanent
