It's no wonder we can't

Convince the next generation

To live

To thrive

To even survive

It's a hopeless situation

Our existence on Earth

That cannot be fixed without

Breaking everything first

There's no point in trying

To save something dying

So we all sit and watch

As it perishes slowly

It's all they will ever know

So I say to you

Save your tears

And silence your lies

Do not be afraid

To cry alone at night

For an expectation

To be saved by the damned

Makes the mind live in stagnation

And there's only so much one can

Understand

I ask of you

No, I beg of you

Hear my words and hear them well

Nobody wants to save us

Nobody wants to comfort us

Nobody will ever fix us

We're lacking in company

The carnage and death

Has driven them all away

It's all we shall ever know

That despite how hard we hope

Despite how much we pray

We are

Painfully and wholly

Entirely

Alone...
