Gomorrah

(album: Omens - 2022)

He packed up all his failures and pushed them down the street
Abandoned ship and torched the bridge to future memories
He never gave a second thought or tasted indecision
An automatic exit in the year of perfect vision
The years of slowly dying had come to serve him well
Just another inconvenience, another bitter pill
A hardened heir of harder times, well-equipped to suffer
And watch the fragile fall to pieces tearing at each other

Dissecting all the signs that passed him by
Reconstruct a pattern drawn by clearer eyes

Everything is doomed to fail
Everything is doomed to fail
Visions of the obvious
A featherweight apocalypse
Everything is doomed to fail
Everything is doomed to fail

High above the empty city, riding out the winter
He watched it all collapse below and saw the rigid splinter
A discipline of solitude perfected in their prisons
To lean into the void and smile as chaos ripped the system

The lines crept across, waiting for a subject
From a force of will, a crucifying effect

Everything is doomed to fail
Everything is doomed to fail
Visions of the obvious
A featherweight apocalypse
Everything is doomed to fail
Everything is doomed to fail

A panicked horde that tumbles down
Screeching outraged parasites
Another day above the ground
Another day in paradise

Everything is doomed to fail
Everything is doomed to fail
Visions of the obvious
A featherweight apocalypse
Everything is doomed to fail
Everything is doomed to fail
