lyrics

I can remember so many days just like the last
Structures of our civilization still in tact
The imminent fear of death en masse had yet to become a matter of fact
Memories of sitting round and getting high
Coarse across my mind and I remember how we'd always fantasized
We'd rather fancied seeing ourselves as we'd survived
Imaginary catastrophes would never scathe our precious lives
To apocalyptic topics we'd succeeded to desensitize our minds
Somehow we'd gotten in our heads that we'd be some sort of exception
When some kind of mass destruction served its unholy function
As though the wasteland of the aftermath would somehow house its dreamy masses
waiting gleefully for everybody to start back from their scratches

Turns out most of us were wrong....
Empty world around me makes me try and find a way to move along

Let us pretend for a moment, that I'm brave and not afraid to die
I'll lock my lips with death and I will look her in the eye
Craft me up a potion that will help me take advantage of this sudden gallantry
Have it augment my body in ways of which I could not dream

I need wings. Lasers shooting from my fingertips. Move through time, control minds
Appear invisible to everyone that I meet, shooting rockets from my feet

I recognize that in these times you may not have what you require to make me what I'd like
If that's the case then craft me something that will take away my fright.

All my life I have never shown courage in the face of the unknown
So if I'm to do this without any drugs, you can be sure everything is fucked.
(Every inch of my whole body is quaking with fear.  How did I end up being one of the last people here?
How did I survive so unqualified through all those times.
Through all that destruction
Was it just luck? Then everything's fucked)
