Songtext von Cascading Failures, Diminishing Returns

Vivid depths of hate and despair Ever doubting mortality Collecting a myriad of self indulgent experiences Eventually none will be left to see Compulsively building your monoliths on shifting sands Delusion claiming an autonomy over fetishizing misery Pain is a wave whose crest never breaks Endless chasing the synaptic responses to releases of dopamine The tide of memory recedes What's left is arid waste Where wisdom is an over-acumulation of failures of the past And of the present The future is lost The seed of self awareness, Is a husk That only seeks to preserve linear thought The loss and curse of reason Patently emboldens the suffering that we wreck No words exist to cut the threat of time All actions burned into unbroken lines A slow descent into dementia Undermines the will to power What's done is done There's no repentance For acts of desperation There is a crack in everything But no light gets in Cascading failures, diminishing returns
