Screwed
This planet done got lost
We are all tripping
I'm turning coats and switching standards
This life isn't for me because it's over anyway
I lost the battle, and the war is over
It's too late and we screwed ourselves out of paradise with our own selfish desire to kill each other and fight
There's no point in fighting for life anymore
We chose death
This is the end. This world is ending.
I tried to save us from ourselves.
I had optimism that others would join the call
The ego won though and ended up destroying all of us
There's no reason to keep fighting.
Where is God in all of this?
And why am I still alive?
I just want to go home. It all turned away from itself
We had hope at a point
But that point is past hope now
All hope is lost, it's just a matter of time before it's time to check out
They're laughing at us now, they think this is a joke
We had a serious mission, and it was sabotaged because it could be
Why does a dog lick it's own ass? Because it can
Why does a human race destroy it's own world?
Why not? It's more fun to destroy in the name of the devil and ego than to conquer and build up in the name of the Lord
It satisfies our flesh to destroy, and that's exactly what we've done
And it's too late to redeem any of this
It's far too late
There is too little optimism, too little love
There is not enough new energy, only old destructive habits
This is a lonely, dead planet, which I have learned to hate
Her people are against her
They're against those attempting to spiritualize and make the world new
They wish to destroy that which could save them
I'm a lonely traveler now, wandering sideways across the sea
My mission is over, my purpose gone
It was washed away with the sand by the wind and water
The ship went on without me
I wanna go home
