They used to live in our stories
Now they’re among us here
Claiming this was never ours
Just another mistake
An error that just can’t be fixed
Extinction was read on their lips

We watched it all so blind and ignorant
We were never supposed to come this far
For dust you are
And to dust you shall return

We’re just another mistake
In the eyes of the fallen
We should be
Forgotten, forsaken
Denied eternity
We watched it unfold
Our story untold
Were we oblivious to it all?
Time
Erase our names
Dissipating in the winds
Of indifference

Yearning for the better slowly brought us here
We watched it all unfold
Now we’re subsisting in their stories, belonging to their tale
Maybe we always did?

The pages turning
The chapters burning
Wave function collapses
Into the memory hole

We watched it unfold
Our story untold
What was the purpose of it all?
Time
Erase our names
We’re dissipating in the winds of indifference

Yearning for the better slowly brought us here
We watched it all unfold
Now we’re subsisting in their stories, belonging to their tale
Maybe we always did?

We watched it all so blind and ignorant
It fell apart, too frail and delicate
