Shouting In a Vacuum

This is a time of elimination

Of surrendering hope in our autonomy

This is an epoch of destruction

Of discarding investments in our humanity

We must relinquish any hope we've placed

Misplaced trust in our posterity

We must reject any confidence

Confidence in our ability

To reclaim our deadened souls

From this plague that pervades our form

To bring light out of black holes

So we can be transformed

If we would remain deluded

Concerning the insufficiency of our mortal resonance

We would just be shouting in a vacuum

Trying to wake a sleeping world

There must be a more powerful frequency

Imperceptible to our sensory apparatus

That breaks the patterns of the soul

And severs stubborn hands that won’t let go

Make no mistake

Letting go is like death

It’s like choking on your last breath
