Towards a Futile Existence

from Towards a Futile Existence by Escarion

lyrics

We know what we're running to
And still we keep up the incessant pace
Won't lose face
As our holocaust of factory farms lines the burning hills
Little bird
Fly on, fly on
Towards the bleak sky we have gifted you
I don't envy your wings anymore
Victim to the smog of our self effacement
Unwitting recruit you are inducted
As we pave the way
To the future

Navigating the landscape of grief
Monotonous mediocracy of the mundane
Was it worth this
Syncopated misery and despair

The grandeur of profound memories
Are a footnote in the tome of a niche narrative
Never written
For the tongue cannot decipher
The arc of Noah sailing through Styx
And the infernal rains pour upon us
A cancer concealed within

Without knowledge we walk
This path paved in shattered souls
Of those who lived a life unfulfilled
And yet we walk
With despair in our hearts
Towards a Futile Existence

Pulled me under
Torn asunder
Won't give an inch back of what we've taken
We're drowning at our own hands

We walk towards a futile existence

Concrete souls
Discrete control
Puppets of our own creation
Strings tangled in self-obsession
Fixed painted smiles crease tighter and tighter
All the while the stage burns around us
The stage burns

From the branches of Yggdrasil I hang
With a noose knotted with cold hands
Staring out into the abyss within me
One eye open
Perceiving the objective with tarnished malice

In this age
Thought is vomited out by the meek
Through impulse for instant gratification
From minds of those who are weak
And we allow it with blindfolds and chains
To breed misery and contempt
Until the individual is murdered by the mob
In hatred
In disdain
