Fiery Forms

lyrics

What do you want from your myths?
Something more than this
Something more than service till death
Parts of your body, parts of your dreams
The remnants slipping through the apparatus seams

What do you want from your myths?
Can you imagine more than
Winner-take-all ever-swinging pendulum?

Decapitation

Unknowing of how or why it got to be like this
Momentum for its own sake
If I could would I choose something better?
I might be too far gone

So used to losing that I’d settle for annihilation
If the right motherfuckers got what’s theirs
But it never goes that way does it
Systems fail the worst-off first,
The rest lurch off no worse for our ware

Unknowing of
How or why
It’s got to be like this

All movement
No progress
Bare minimum
Misery
All movement
No progress

Certainly there’s more than we can expect
From this complex collective fiction
We can string together something better

Dream and redecide:
All deserve a fair shot at a decent life

Unfeasible?
How feasible then Is total human extinction?
