Entropy

Did you hear about the outbreak?
Yes, it finally came
And I'll see you in the sewer
If I see you again
Maybe you can ignore
The horrible stench
When the myriad miracles come to an end

Don't you love the unexpected? The wicked?
The ticket
To the transport fleeing from the crumbling village
When they made you
You got innocent eyes
And enough of a brain
To know that something's not right
We tried
To fight
To wash it aside
But the punishment came
Completely justified

The storms, the forms,
The swells and the calms
A black curtain of bombs,
Enough to block out the sun
I fell face first into a river of blood
But I'm a national hero for surviving the flood
I could be hailed as a seer, the one who will lead,
But it's not the sort of famous that I wanted to be
Looking through glass
Broken at last
Naked and painted
And losing my grasp
You can laugh
And gasp
As I twitch and convulse
The veins all expanding to the beat of a pulse
I want to start again, but I'm hardly fit
The world is going... gone
Deal with it

I'm an exquisite machine
Built specifically to malfunction
And I apologize
But I don't quite feel sane
I am convinced that I've got the plague
I feel stupid, but I'm still afraid
There has got to be another way

I'm amazed at the denial of all that is vile and divine
You can sing, you can dance
Or put your thumb in your ass and whine
We can't advance when there is no goal
Don't fuck around, I am not in control
I'm just a cynical shithead
And I'm not committed at all
All the things you said
All the things you did
I would be a rebel if I just knew what it is
Is anybody home?
Are you stuck in the sky?
There is no hope for you
And I
And I
I am the young
And the unimpressed
Born into your slavery and ready for your death
I'm pirating your breath
Replacing it instead
With all the shit you fed me and implanted in my head
The past is meaningless
It only sickens us
I don't know why you think I'm blessed
This is not a test
Get your Sunday best
We're gonna burn it all down till there's nothing left

Let us open the wound
Let the bleeding begin
Because you cannot conceive
Of all the beauty within
Now I understand what they said was true
And they're splitting the world
Because they failed to choose
The gap is ever wider
And it's too late now
Being eaten alive is the only way out
I will never reveal the truth
I cannot bear to say what happens to you
