They say in life
You need a good foundation
Don't build on sand
And the best way to make a plan for failure
Is to fail to plan
As I sit back I see the infrastructure
Crumbling
And centuries of only looking forward
So humbling
We're subsiding
We subside
If we deny ourselves to be mistaken
How can we grow?
Defining progress as a linear function
Quote unquote
The fragments tell the tales of cities ancient
Cold and inert
We will be multicolored plastic layers
Buried in the dirt
We're subsiding
We subside
No we can't stop the inevitable
This entropy
Cause and effect just keeps us
On this railway
Through time and gravity
Is it so simple as a
Sum of all its parts?
A vast estate?
Where things collide and scatter
Free to gather and reanimate
We're subsiding
We subside
