Dead End Residents

(album: Terrasite - 2023)

Welcome to a new world
This, the new mundane, our physical plane
That rewards the constant smoothing of the human brain
Balanced or insane, it's all the same thing
When you calculate the cost of fucking living
There's no forgiving those who brought you in this world
Kicking and hissing
It was a mistake, forever forsaking the light
Now addicted to life

Birthed to a dead end
This is the end of the line
Creation condemned
Dead on arrival design
Progeny suspend
Better aborted than alive
Return the godsend

Born forced into human acceptance
Thrust into involuntary optimism
While wading through our species' foulness
The face of nihilism

The final trumpets now beginning to sound
A vacant crown, no humanity left now

Falling into this new world, hitting the ground running
Screaming into an open void, nameless and bloody
Shat out another opportunist, voracious and cunning
The roses rot at the roots, eight billionth coming...
... and they're coming
... Outgunning
We just keep coming
We're all heirs to nothing now
Don't pretend that life is the same it was
It shall never be again

Life is a dead end now
This shit is going south
We're still alive somehow
Without penitence

Life is a dead end now
Slow burn as soon as you're out
We're still alive somehow
Dead end residents

Born dead to a world of indifference
Head first into a state of self-congratulation
While thinking we're the be-all end-all
The face of narcissism

Just look around
The time to die is now

The final trumpet sounds
No humanity left now

Just look around
Society's sundown

Anti-natality now
No-one to wear the crown

Just look around
The time to die is now

The final trumpet sounds
No humanity left now
