Backwards and Upside Down

The day the world stopped turning The night the rivers stopped flowing Birds fell from the sky None could sing no more Once brave animals Now run away with a weak voice That can only be heard through the trees That are just are left to be stumps Plants dry up and crumble Back into the Earth To teach those a lesson That times not by your side The sun dims out The moon collapses into its self The stars that were once followed Burn out one by one The only remembrance remaining being holes in the sky That leak out tears To try and make life grow Not enough Bodies of water evaporate To joint the lost stars Specks of dust we are becoming In the larger scale of things Learning to adapt to the surrounding darkness No more comforting than a lonely cave Even the animals are forgetting who they are What there place is All chaos goes loose Running from no meaning from ever side Is this the end?
