Mindless Consumption, Missing Compassion

(Let's go! let's go! let's go!) Poison in the sky Poison in our minds You waited too long You Missed the Signs In the veins of this world flows the poison we bleed Every corner every street every seed Step into the abyss where the shadows dwell Breathing in the blackness a living hell Concrete jungles with their toxic spells Stories they tell of our downfall they yell We're sipping on venom in the guise of water Playing with fire becoming the martyr The air's a concoction should've been smarter But we keep on drinking the poison we barter Look around it's a wasteland a spectacle of despair Feeding on the poison like we don't even care In the end it's just us with nothing to spare A world once vibrant now stripped bare We're caught in the web of our own deceit Choking on the ashes of our defeat This poison runs deep in every heartbeat In this toxic world we're incomplete We built this empire on lies and decay Now we stand in the ruins with nothing to say Our legacy a world in disarray The poison we cherished leading us astray No more lies no more pain In this poisoned rain nothing to gain We're the architects of our domain In the ruins of our reign only poison remains We're the venom and the cure within our grasp In this dance of destruction our breaths gasp Can we rise from the ashes our final clasp Or fade into the void with our final rasp There's a line in the sand drawn with our sins A chance for redemption a new way begins The poison we've bled the darkness within It's time to heal from the outside to the skin In the veins of venom we find our truth In the echoes of our youth the proof This world we've poisoned under our roof A testament to our ways aloof And so we stand in the remnants of our choices Hearing the haunting of our own voices In this world of poison it's our voices That might just find the antidote to our vices
