Lyrics
Cascading Failures, Diminishing Returns
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Vivid depths of hate and despair
Ever doubting mortality
Collecting a myriad of self indulgent experiences
Eventually none will be left to see
Compulsively building your monoliths on shifting sands
Delusion claiming an autonomy over fetishizing misery
Pain is a wave whose crest never breaks
Endless chasing the synaptic responses to releases of dopamine
The tide of memory recedes
What's left is arid waste
Where wisdom is an over-acumulation of failures of the past
And of the present
The future is lost
The seed of self awareness, Is a husk
That only seeks to preserve linear thought
The loss and curse of reason
Patently emboldens the suffering that we wreck
No words exist to cut the threat of time
All actions burned into unbroken lines
A slow descent into dementia
Undermines the will to power
What's done is done
There's no repentance
For acts of desperation
There is a crack in everything
But no light gets in
Cascading failures, diminishing returns
