End times

Sky’s cracked open, streets turn to veins

Flowing with the lifeblood, but it’s only pain

Ash rains down, the sun a dying ember

Yesterday’s dreams too scorched to remember

Broken screens, shattered feeds

Everybody fighting for the last of the seeds

We’re all still people, crawling through the dust

Surviving the end times, clinging to what’s just

Hands in the rubble, hearts in the fight

In the darkest hours, we search for the light

Sirens sing lullabies to the hopeless

Concrete jungles swallowed by locusts

The clock’s got no hands, time’s out of sync

World on the brink, no space left to think

Can’t rewind, no second try

Living in the echo of a breaking sky

Still, we rise, phoenix from the ash

Chasing tomorrow with yesterday’s stash

We’re all still people, crawling through the dust

Surviving the end times, clinging to what’s just

Hands in the rubble, hearts in the fight

In the darkest hours, we search for the light
