From The Wilderness

There is no endgame

So whisper the truth and pass on the blame

Just put us out of our misery

This defeat is a victory

We're burning out, we're fading away

A failed evolution

Is the problem the solution

That they've been searching for?

We're waiting for the world to save itself

'Cause nothing is built to last

We're writing our epitaph

So reset and start again

'Cause we all know how this ends

Before long we'll be dead and gone

A thorn in the side of the earth

Where do you draw the line?

A flaw in the design

The rest is history

This defeat is a victory

We're burning out, we're fading away

(We live in an infinite growth paradigm

Nothing grows forever, it's not possible

As a great, uh psychologist James Hillman wrote

The only thing that grows

In the human body after a certain age is Cancer

And I think that that's clearly what we're seeing

At the end of human industrial civilization

With the population approaching seven billion)

We're all guilty as sin

I feel it, I feel it under my skin

Always up in arms, without lifting a finger, lifting a finger

Oh!

We may be infinite but this world is not

Something that we once knew that we long forgot

That we long forgot

We're waiting for the world to save itself

'Cause nothing is built to last

We're writing our epitaph

So reset and start again

'Cause we all know how this ends

Before long we'll be dead and gone

We're all guilty as sin

I feel it, I feel it under my skin

Always up in arms, without lifting a finger, lifting a finger

We may be infinite but this world is not

Something that we once knew that we long forgot
