silent nova

I picture words around your face

But can't seem to speak when the light hits

I'm lost on this planet of apes

And can't seem to find my silent Nova
 

Twisted in this wreckage, going nowhere, we've finally done it

Twisted in this wreckage, we're nothing

You damn dirty apes have finally done us in
 

Beneath a crust turned to ash

I search for records of its past

Finding only hatred lasts

The will to kill what's not in our path
 

Twisted in this wreckage, going nowhere, we've finally done it

Twisted in this wreckage, we're nothing

You damn dirty apes have finally done us in
 

You can lock me in your cages

This bodies a shell which has no hold

Live an entire lifetime with no ages

Hunted down like milestones
 

Twisted in this wreckage, going nowhere, we've finally done it

Twisted in this wreckage, we're nothing

You damn dirty apes have finally done us in
 

What's civilized behind these eyes

Still haven't found any answer

But still beauty lives in the disguise

Of the illusion of what comes after
 

Twisted in this wreckage, going nowhere, we've finally done it

Twisted in this wreckage, we're nothing

You damn dirty apes have finally done us in



classical mechanics

We live and die like a car crash

Violently fighting to keep this vehicle in motion

As inertia brings our journey to an end

We quickly scramble to buckle up in time

But the action is in motion and will not rest

Ejected from seats, feed to worms, feed to birds in a nest

This is our first law of motion

We move till we cease to be

The force it lives in you and me

The momentum was too great to slow in time

Mass only carried us further along

Velocity pushed us far beyond the finish line

Endless endeavor to preserve our present state

But ours are not the only bodies in motion

And the resistance never takes a break

This is our first law of motion

We move till we cease to be

The force it lives in you and me

If only Aristotle had it right

Without an external motive power we can rest

But the absence only wakes the heart inside the hollow chest

Loneliness renews impetus to replace the taste of longing lips

An equal action to forget the accident

That spun us off this narrow cliff
