about

Inspired by "Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn.

lyrics

Breakdown. Like tiny grains of sand we crumble, our foundation erodes away. A ghost town, wastelands of our own making. We had quite the run, my friends. Our day in the sun is ending, another era soon begins. We had to know it couldn't last. Our children won't look fondly on the past. We've let it slip away. Collectively scratching our heads, we wonder how we got here. Sustainability is dead. We'll never learn to survive unless we unlearn creationist dogma... I see the curtain falling on this opera. We're phoning in our redemption while leading the funeral procession. A burning butt thrown carelessly - the allegory of humanity.
