From The Wilderness |
There is no endgame |
So whisper the truth and pass on the blame |
Just put us out of our misery |
This defeat is a victory |
We’re burning out, we’re fading away |
A failed evolution |
Is the problem the solution that they’ve been searching for? |
We’re waiting for the world to save itself |
'Cause nothing is built to last |
We’re writing our epitaph |
So reset and start again |
'Cause we all know how this ends |
Before long we’ll be dead and gone |
A thorn in the side of the earth |
Where do you draw the line? |
A flaw in the design |
The rest is history |
This defeat is a victory |
We’re burning out, we’re fading away |
We live in an infinite growth paradigm. |
Nothing grows forever, it’s not |
possible. |
As a great psychologist James Hillman wrote |
«The only thing that grows in the human body after a certain age is cancer», |
and I think that, that’s clearly what we’re seeing at the end of human |
industrial civilization with the population approaching seven billion |
We’re all guilty as sin |
I feel it, I feel it under my skin |
Always up in arms without lifting a finger |
Lifting a finger |
We may be infinite, but this world is not |
Something that we once knew, that we long forgot |
That we long forgot |
We’re waiting for the world to save itself |
'Cause nothing is built to last |
We’re writing our epitaph |
So reset and start again |
'Cause we all know how this ends |
Before long we’ll be dead and gone |
We’re all guilty as sin |
I feel it, I feel it under my skin |
Always up in arms without lifting a finger |
Lifting a finger |
We may be infinite, but this world is not |
Something that we once knew, that we long forgot |
