Crumbling Mirth

lyrics

set upon by crumbling mirth
a desperate attempt to flee
modernity

what may end in futility
they say that life is worth living
yet they have not lived a day of their own
surrounded by fables, figments
of an imagination beaten down by tradition
to be your own person is to be shunned
as humanity is its own worst enemy
scared of itself
while terrified of any sort of change
driven to despair by the ills of man
there is no reconciliation
the death of self is nothing to lament
the dead are the only ones who know
any semblance of peace.

death as an escape,
there is no turning back
