Afterglow

Sanity
Vanished from our minds
Inherited
From our fathers lives
Philosophies
Built by their design
Fostering
Silently with time

Expectations just too high to reach
The daily routine just makes us proceed
Neglecting the lie that is lying beneath
That wealth and peace is for us all to achieve

Trust me when I say
This ship of humanity is slowly sinking (this ship is sinking)
Beneath the weight of our sins
Each tick of the clock a reminder of
The darkness closing in

Desperation claws at our souls
As we journey towards our demise
Yet still we grasp at fleeting dreams
Beneath a canopy of fucking lies

What is the ultimate sacrifice?
Who'll be the last one standing?
Our children will pay the price
Say goodbye to a happy ending

We stare at our screens in apathy
Conditioned to numb out the pain
So, we continue to torch the fields
While desperately waiting for rain

Torch the fields
And pray for rain

Torch the fields
And pray for fucking rain

Trust me when I say
This ship of humanity is slowly sinking (This ship is sinking)
Beneath the weight of our sins
Each tick of the clock a reminder
Of the darkness closing in

Darkness closing in
