Creation
Creation
Destruction
Building
Destroying
Order
Chaos
What does it all mean?
Where are we headed?
It's our worst nightmares
Something we've all dreaded
The world is going down
And we're all in it.
If we lead our bodies as a slave,
We have to discipline it.
You need to control the fire
So no one gets hurt
Even if we have to stoop that low
And smother it in dirt.
Remember how it used to be
Back in the day
The explanation for everything
Was "That's just his way."
Now even if have a certain style
They flag you as "gay."
Notice the corruption
The ever-present hate
No. Not because they don't like you
But because you're not straight.
Let's reverse the destruction
And rebuild in another way
One day we'll all be happy
I await the day.
