Took a long walk from Mesopotamia
Carrying nothing but his pride
Sucker thought he saw a ripple
The river letting go of something new
His eyes often tricked him
Too many stories too visceral
Turns out he should have been living
Because now the opposite is true
Long ago the darkness was hungry
And the land was filled with bounty
Soon the river no longer rippled
You can’t decide
Who lives or dies
You can’t deny impulses
What you find is like a balance
The first night was the hardest
Watching shadows racing in
The first ones fell and bought them time
Just the sounds of ripping and screaming
Begging to an earless god
There’s something breaking down the doors of homes
We cry for food when we’re hungry
We beg for light when we are cold
Now we beg for mercy from malevolence
There’s a new link in the food chain
Acceptance is bliss
If we won’t reside at the top
Better to be a powerbottom
You can’t decide
Who lives or dies
You can’t deny impulses
What you find is like a balance
I’m finding my way
Through this tributary
I’m not alone
I’m not alone
Yet all alone
No star to guide me
I’m not alone
I’m not alone
Yet all alone
They say hope springs eternal
But they don’t walk these paths
There’s an eye in every stone
Acceptance is bliss
If we won’t reside at the top
Better to be a powerbottom
You can’t decide
Who lives or dies
You can’t deny impulses
What you find is powerbottom
A cog in a machine
It’ll grind you down
You can’t deny impulses
What you find is powerbottom
