Feeble hands lay idly by
Could they ever hone skills of time past?
Trembling minds before white lies
When the Earth opens, no wings will sprout
Long live, shouted the tyrant
Long live, shouted the felons
The rest of your life in a 10 second fall
A step off the edge where we thought we stood tall
Impending doom and paralysis
Play fast and loose through this crisis
For every chance you've missed
You've lost the right to breathe
Trenches dug by rational minds
With emotions buried so deep
You won't recognize your own kind
The uncanny valley with no guilt-trip
Frail limbs lay idly by
Frozen bodies of apathy
Drowned in the sins of the father
Scorched by the sight of dead summers
Long live, shouted the tyrant
Long live, shouted the felons
The rest of your life in a 10 second fall
A step off the edge where we thought we stood tall
