Gateways Lyrics

We become accustomed to death

This finality we fear

Often consumed

Inside ourselves

At war

Yet we live with it

Endure

Our eyes

Stare into

The pupils of the soul

Our screens

feed our bloodlust

And the abattoirs

fill our stomachs

With the stolen life of the earth

As if the world was our graveyard

we bury ourselves

Deep into a sleep

Dreamless

Amongst the raging ocean

Waves of screams

Oblivious

We observe death with unblinking eyes

Sheened with boredom

Glossed over with indifference

I stare passively

With passion

And when the time comes

We dive unblinking into the abyss

And our bones are still

The excuses we make for our moral blindness

Burning bridges before the foundation is laid

Labels of disgust foul the air

And we breathe just the same.
