We.

Bug eyed fashion doll, glasses tinted blind

Stick-like, stoic stature, stiffened stance.

Deep set features in high contrast

Midnight on pale, and never seen the sun.

City life, night concerts, moonshine, smoke

Starlight, gazing, rapture, exposures to be made.

Ends split, roots neon,

"You're all in your head."

She walks like a ghost of a good mood

She cries unbenknowest of her own attitude

Perhaps once a mythical creature

But now

A sad excuse for a life.

Living only for the finite high

Parched and bones.

No improvement either.

Mainstream is a bloodstream

Beings looking for a chance of love

No, love is lust.

We're animals.

Few can see the truth. They say we look like death.

But love has always, always been a dead thing

to us.

So we are the ones who were alive all along

Making art of destroying destruction.

Vandilization, corrupting corruption.

We are the future

We were the past

No longer the youth. The future is now

This is the crop you have raised with the last of your rations

Your people have shriveled up in desparation of the Better Future

You supplied the necessary evil to continue the line

But that does not take from Us the right to change

The right to improve

This crop you raised in your old age, your backup plan, your new beginning, your saviors

And it worked!

W E W I L L S A V E T H E W O R L D

but in order for it to happen

we will do it our way

Its our turn now.
