I just wrote to tell you this; | |
I did just my very best | |
I went far but got stuck there | |
I picked up the pieces, | |
I was your vigilant soldierbut the mass of the earth just weighed too heavily on me | |
How can truth be opinion? | |
How can fact be right and wrong? | |
The familiar turned strange, good and evil unhinged. | |
My utilitarian comfort unsettled | |
Consequentialist moral reasons categorically examined | |
Self-knowledge is a loss of innocence! | |
I heard your call to armsset off the doomsday alarm,but never heard back | |
So, I set out alone | |
I don’t believe all | |
I’ve been shown | |
A quest for truth and fact | |
I passed a desert town | |
Uninhabitable pastures of ash brown | |
Abandoned structures littered like an | |
Aerstan scene | |
But then desperate people appeared | |
They had lived in constant drought for ten yearsever since pollution got the best of them – wiped them clean | |
So, I thought "I’ll take their curse away!Let them flourish, I’ll take the pain." | |
I lifted their drought and went on my way | |
So I’m asking you, help me carry? | |
I’m Atlas, | |
Jesus and | |
HadesWon’t someone please take this weight off of me? | |
The destination is obsolete | |
The journey is bitter-sweet | |
Logic and consistency do not mix with morality | |
Justify your atrocities, the trump card never fails | |
Remove the greed and the ego, and the consciences prevails | |
No longer empty-handed, | |
I stopped at the coast to restbut found a flood of people drowning in a sea of hatred | |
They begged and pleaded "End this war!Have acceptance and peace restored!" | |
So, I drank up all their poison oaths | |
So I’m asking you help me carry? | |
I’m Atlas, | |
Jesus and | |
HadesWon’t someone please take this weight off of me? | |
The destination is obsolete | |
There’s nothing left but wrong with me | |
Global systems all degrading | |
I’ll take the problems so the | |
World can breathe | |
And I have nowhere to take thewm soforever they’ll accompany me | |
The future is much longer than the past | |
I picked up wrongs along the wayremoved them from the mass | |
But I still had to jettison thingsto outrun gravity and not wanting to further pollute | |
I just left behind parts of me | |
I’m collecting your tradition, your religion, your depression | |
I’m trading in your affection to put us all to sleep | |
So here I lay, bent shoulders, broken ribs | |
I sink into the earth and all | |
I can hope is to take this baggage to the graveone more step | |
I cannot takeby the time you read this | |
I’ll have passed away. |
I just wrote to tell you this | |
I did just my very best | |
I went far but got stuck there | |
I picked up the pieces, | |
I was your vigilant soldierbut the mass of the earth just weighed too heavily on me | |
