This condition persists
I feel the weight of the times
From the top of my skull
Down the back of my spine
It never ceases to remind
I’m in dire need of being realigned
The lack of hope, resonates
I’ve been trapped by the pressure
Of force fed lies and uncertain futures
Grab a hold of what you can
And hold dear before it goes and all just disappears

Such sweet entropy, it’s comforting
As the world crashes in on me
Admire all beauty in its brevity

I promised myself just live for the day
Our bodies and bones are built to wither away
Buildings with steel skeletons
Become ash and decay
Forever learning that the clock will never wait

Such sweet entropy, it’s comforting
As the world crashes in on me
Admire all beauty in its brevity
All we’ve ever built will one day rust
(It’s comforting)
All that is sought, soon gone at once

The test of time cannot be passed
Everything degrades, nothing’s made to last
Be present in every fleeting second
Before it all becomes the past

And if existence is meaningless
Then maybe this somber thought is freeing us

Such sweet entropy, it’s comforting
As the world crashes in on me
Admire all beauty in its brevity
All we’ve ever built will one day rust
(It’s comforting)
All that is sought, soon gone at once
