lyrics

We've been lied to
ever since our birth.
That being is a blessing,
that being is better than nothing.
If I'd had the knowledge
within the warmth of the womb,
I'd have tied an umbilical noose
and brought an end to this world.

No one deserves
to be born at the end.
No one deserves
the curse of consciousness.
Survivor's guilt,
the manifestation of reality
that those who have perished
are the lucky ones.

A coward dies
over and over again.
Bearing witness
to the hubris of humanity.
We destroy ourselves daily anew,
in servitude and in vice.
Bowing before
our supposed removal from nature.

Rotting while still alive.

What to make
of an animal biting its tail?
Frustration and denial
that it itself is one
with life's inevitable defeat.
Children shocked by pain.
The collective cries of all suffering
echo empty into space.

Simple negatives embody
all that we ignore.
There is no redemption in trial,
no salvation through good behavior.
All is for naught.
Any and all is piss in the sea.
