Lyrics

Thickening iron returning from whence it came

Bitter, organs twisting

I am afraid I am losing the ability to care

We are all going to die
A stark acknowledgment of the inevitability of death.

Hand over limp hand, we press and in blissed silence, doom shall prevail

No metaphors left

For a world rotting from the head down

For a humanity that has crushed my will and killed itself
