Self-afflicted self-absorbed
You couldn't let this planet die
This bitter taste of regret
You siphoned the dregs of a dying world
Clawed onto the escaping sunsets of your false ambitions
Once there was fire
Now there are ashes
What could have been smooth sailing
Turned turbulent
Self-afflicted self-absorbed
You couldn't let this planet die
The core was close to splitting
You couldn't let this planet die
Storms brew as the eye closes in
No suspecting
I drive through
A new world torn to shreds in minutes
Once bright and optimistic now dark and depressed
Self-afflicted self-absorbed
You couldn't let this planet die
The core was close to splitting
You couldn't let this planet die
I'm absolved of you
Once so consumed
Now free willed and blessed
A dawn so bright I'm blinded
A moon so large I'm nocturnal
Once there was fire
Now there are ashes
What could have been smooth sailing
Turned turbulent
Once there was fire
Now there are ashes
What could have been smooth sailing
Turned turbulent
Self-afflicted self-absorbed
You couldn't let this planet die
The core was close to splitting
You couldn't let this planet die
Minds enthralled with elegies
That shouldn't be
Although I partook
They're not what I wanted them to be
