False Paradigm

It's as though we can't believe
 That our earth will ever come to an end
 And with our insatiable taste for failure
 Regeneration never a chance to begin

 Intellect surrendered to desire and greed
 Humanity has become earth's disease
 With only everything to regret now
 As this world comes crashing down

 Down, as we shut our eyes and turn away
 Drowning deep in this slow state of decay
 Blinded and conceited, self justified
 As another earth bleeds and dies

 And still we can not believe
 That our earth is bleeding to an end
 Still trapped in a state of negation
 Until the beginning of the end

 To ourselves we perpetuate this lie
 Blackened artifacts remain in our minds
 And now we wonder how
 The whole world came crashing down

 Down, as we shut our eyes and turned away
 No remorse, we laid our earth to waste
 Shame, blinded and conceited
 As earth bleeds and dies

 Evolution, a fabled illusion
 Humanity's self annihilation
 We fall, toward the sun
 Burning in ignorance, it brings us down
 Our ignorance apparent now
 How?
 Our ignorance burns us down

 Well I'm waiting for us to learn but I'm walking in circles
 I'm waiting, why don't we learn? We're going nowhere
 I'm waiting! Yet we're still walking in circles
 Well I'm waiting, why don't we learn?
 What the fuck is wrong with us?

 Evolution, a fabled illusion
 Humanity's self annihilation
 We fall, toward the sun
 Burning in ignorance, it brings us down
 Our ignorance apparent now
 How?
 Our ignorance burns us down
