From The Wilderness - Architects

There is no endgame

So whisper the truth and pass on the blame

Just put us out of our misery

This defeat is a victory

We’re burning out, we’re fading away

A failed evolution

Is the problem the solution that they’ve been searching for?

We’re waiting for the world to save itself

'Cause nothing is built to last

We’re writing our epitaph

So reset and start again

'Cause we all know how this ends

Before long we’ll be dead and gone

A thorn in the side of the earth

Where do you draw the line?

A flaw in the design

The rest is history

This defeat is a victory

We’re burning out, we’re fading away

We live in an infinite growth paradigm.

Nothing grows forever, it’s not

possible.

As a great psychologist James Hillman wrote

«The only thing that grows in the human body after a certain age is cancer»,

and I think that, that’s clearly what we’re seeing at the end of human

industrial civilization with the population approaching seven billion

We’re all guilty as sin

I feel it, I feel it under my skin

Always up in arms without lifting a finger

Lifting a finger

We may be infinite, but this world is not

Something that we once knew, that we long forgot

That we long forgot

We’re waiting for the world to save itself

'Cause nothing is built to last

We’re writing our epitaph

So reset and start again

'Cause we all know how this ends

Before long we’ll be dead and gone

We’re all guilty as sin

I feel it, I feel it under my skin

Always up in arms without lifting a finger

Lifting a finger

We may be infinite, but this world is not

Something that we once knew, that we long forgot
