the.crossing

the crossing (escape velocity)
troubled times, they say, pushing the barrier
into this phase - astronomical indifference
unable to see the light, hoping it's there
hoping to see it some day, to wash these times away
deposit yourself 'cause there's no turning back
sentimental virtue is not the right track
an animal you are when the process is done
watch as your instability eclipses the sun
a talk among the children, slightly renowned
seventy-two hour daylight, your heaven is crowned
hoping for the best in these hopes for decline
i've seen the crossing, and the crossing is mine
deposit yourself 'cause there's no turning back
sentimental virtue is not the right track
an animal you are when the process is done
watch as your instability eclipses the sun
i wonder if it'll pass
i wonder if it's true
i wonder about structure
and what you will do

my egocentric behavior
comes as a surprise?
three words, buddy
end of mankind

unaware of this, cataclysmic velocity
unaware of this, cataclysmic velocity
unaware of this, cataclysmic velocity
unaware of this, cataclysmic velocity

so take your clothes
and take your wealth
take your children
and protect their health
take your food
and take your car
take your family
and run so far
that the sky burns below you
and rains methane
golden rock showers
and the occasional tidal wave
and a sea of red
and could this be
a simple reminder
of our fucking idiocy?
meaning
speaks for itself: end of mankind.
