To future generations: apologies for the doom
If we're being honest, we knew better
But the facts were inconvenient
We've left the lights on so you can see how f*cked we've left you
You're welcome
Just to manage expectations: you've all been primed to die
The ignorance felt fine when it was willful
Distracted by gods, pop stars, clowns, and UFOs
We used our last breath
To argue about semantics
We evolved from great apes
To eat our own shit
We're not cynical
But show us an optimist,
And we'll show you a goddamn idiot
Thank god we'll be dead before we descend into bedlam
We lived through a global pandemic
And all we got was a brief appreciation for toilet paper
This world doesn't come with instructions,
But denial goes in the recycling bin, guilt goes in the trash
Allow us to use your near-death experience
To sell you some actual f*cking death
Sometimes it's too expensive to keep living
The f*cks were too expensive to keep giving
Remember when we just threw it all away?
