Gabriel's Last Meal

This is what life looks like now
Time will always flow on like this
It will always flow on like this
On like this

The world where I began my journey no longer exists
This sunken world has so much I don't understand
Oh to be back, back when I knew everything

Obsolescence at the bottom of the sea
No one should believe in this new way of being
No one needs you at the bottom of the sea, lungs aren't good for speaking or breathing
No longer good for anything
I'm not good for anything

Exchanges in a digital space remove the validity of my physical being
Give us back the life we remember
So happy to complain before, and now our days are numbered

Exchanges in a digital space remove the validity of my physical being
In this new place my usefulness wanes
'til now I'd never felt this kind of pain
Felt this kind of pain

Deep in the disillusion
And I've been here for a while
Cantankerous, confused but, I'll find my own my out

To re-examine was not something that I considered
To look around and blame it was my only option
Look in the eyes of the others sinking down right next to me
Their undoing had been what I had forgotten

What have I forgotten?

Back in my day I walked to school in snow up-hill both ways
If I could only just remember my password

Your new ideas surround and confound a simplistic cycle from a recent age
Changes in the water create waves of rage

And that's a fact, Jack

This is what life looks like now
Time will always flow like this

This is what life looks like now
Time will always flow on just like this
