Collapse

Devastating crumbling of the economy
Feeling the trembling side effects of a democracy
Multiple ruptures of one moment rumbling,
Sending shockwaves through the web of a
global interdependent society; structure
fraying and breaking down 

Elon’s monopoly,
power to the people,
we know it’s part of our cultural victory
like a pre-programmed atrocity

We misinterpreted spilling these raps as tapping till’ we fill till’ we cap
We don’t understand tilling these lands means filling these bags of sand to fill these gaps

Wet your pants
Other civilizations have came and went through scarcity

collapse of the synapse
starved for stimulation like the GDP
decreased in gratitude

If you feel different, that’s okay
Look around

What we’ve accepted as a norm is slowly destroying the planet
What we’ve accepted as a norm is quickly destroying the planet

Automobiles

We don’t shovel the snow, we just drive over it till we get stuck
then we’re fucked

Cities in a nuclear haze,
Unstoppable deathwave
Would you be prepared for a blink of extreme inconceivable heat as a way to leave?
Razed to the pavement

Too late to wake

The escalation made me realize we’ve always been this close
With enough time it will happen

Nobody knows what they’re doing 
And the only thing that you believe is we exist
