what's wrong with the sky today?
as gray and dismal as the world it covers
where did the sun that gave us something to reach towards go?
did it close its eye, blinded by the hatred living on in its audience?
what's wrong with the sea today?
as violent and chaotic as the world it holds
where did the peaceful calm of the ocean evaporate to?
did it grow sick from the blood that has spilled into its mouth?
where did it all disappear to?
did nature quit?
fed up by her tenants constant disrespect
fed up by what her beautiful world has become
dying due to a self absorbed, bipedal disease
spreading and growing, cancerous and deadly
we have devolved from complacent, self sufficient animals
into greedy, selfish fools
we have over-analyzed our role in this machine
crossed a line we had no right to cross
and now our celestial landlady has left us out to dry
left us to destroy, to decay and to die
what's wrong with the world today?
decaying flesh slapped onto miserable souls
where did the simple balance of living go?
did it close its door to the billions in the window greedily looking in?
i dont know
i only know that this life has lost the luster it once held
rusted and tarnished by years of mistreatment
so goodbye blue sky, goodbye blue sea
i will not see you all again
i will leave before it is too late
and the traffic backs up on the road to eternity
so disillusioned by our own intrinsic flaws
we have destroyed what we took for granted
i have done my part, and there is a price we all must pay
so i will stand accused with the masses come judgment day
