NEAR EXTINCTION

Near extinction the cities groan,

Steel and glass like brittle bone,

We built it high just to watch it fall,

Now silence echoes through it all.

The lights go out one by one at night,

No hum of life, no neon light,

Just empty streets where shadows creep,

And secrets that the ruins keep.

(Chorus)

The clock ran out, we crossed the line,

All truth buried in earth's timeline.

A fading world beneath a dying sky.

It's in the dust, it's in the bones, it's in the last goodbye,

It's in the bones, it's in the last goodbye,

A fading world beneath a dying sky.

The oceans rise but no one flees,

No prayers are said on broken knees,

The satellites still spin above,

But no one’s left to speak of love.

The final fields have turned to ash,

No harvest comes, no growing grass,

(Pre chorus)

The clock ran out, we crossed the line,

All truth buried in earth's timeline.

A fading world beneath a dying sky.

It's in the dust, it's in the bones, it's in the last goodbye,

The wind just carries what remains,

A world reduced to loss and stains.

We pushed too far, we took too much,

Now nothing’s left for us to touch,

(Bridge)

Don’t need a warning, it’s already here,

You can feel it closing in with fear,

Every breath is thinner than before,

Every heartbeat closer to the door.

We wrote the end with our own hand,

Now no one’s left to understand,

No second chance, no reset plan,

Just the quiet end of man.

(Chorus)

We were never meant to last this long,

Now everything we built is going wrong,

The clock ran out, we crossed the line,

All truth buried in earth's timeline.

A fading world beneath a dying sky.

It's in the dust, it's in the bones, it's in the last goodbye,

We were never meant to last this long,

Now everything we built is going wrong,

The clock ran out, we crossed the line,

All truth buried in earth's timeline.

A fading world beneath a dying sky.

It's in the dust, it's in the bones, it's in the last goodbye,
