Ephemeral

They used to live in our stories

Now they're among us here

Claiming this was never ours

Just another mistake

An error that just can't be fixed

Extinction was read on their lips

We watched it all so blind and ignorant

We were never supposed to come this far

For dust you are

And to dust you shall return

We're just another mistake

In the eyes of the fallen

We should be forgotten, forsaken

Denied eternity

We watched it unfold, our story untold

Were we oblivious to it all?

Time, erase our names

Dissipating in the winds

Of indifference

Yearning for the better slowly brought us here (We watched it all unfold)

Now we're subsisting in their story, belonging to their tale

Maybe we always did?

Maybe we always did?

The pages turning

The chapters burning

Wave function collapses

Into the memory hole

We watched it unfold, our story untold

What was the purpose of it all?

Time, erase our names

Dissipating in the winds

Of indifference

Yearning for the better slowly brought us here (We watched it all unfold)

Now we're subsisting in their story, belonging to their tale

Maybe we always did?

We watched it all so blind and ignorant

We watched it all so blind (All so blind)

It fell apart, too frail and delicate
