lyrics

At the edge of the world
They will still suffocate
All those who breathe
Even those who could not mate
At the heights of frozen desolation
Their fires will burn them
They will still die
Even those who heard no lies
It's too thick
There are too many
The atmosphere has no choice but to choke out the life
The precious, the beautiful, the sacred, the kind
The cowering and those with cunning or strength of mind
They are all alike
In the shelters underneath
The will still slowly starve
All those who cared
Even those who were prepared
At the sites where chaos ensued
And the places where peace conquered
They will still die
Even those closest to the sky
It's too thick
There are too many
The atmosphere has no choice but to choke out the life
The atmosphere has no choice but to choke out the life
Not only can you see the sickness with closed eyes
You can hear the emotional famish in their tones of voice
Without asking to be let on
The grinding anxiety in the essence of civilized choice is palpable
So fucking obvious
I want more
I want this
My claim upon evolution is the hope that one day we will all be swept away
We will all be swept away
No need for necessity or apathy
No need for sympathy or instinct
No choice but to breathe in the plague
Only urgency and will
We will all be swept away
