Music: Burnet / Lussier
Lyrics: Burnet

Cold, clear perspective
Highlighting all the nuances of my dread
Of fathomless, inescapable entropy

Denial of this animal form

Fertile, productive, ever ripe
Anxious, selfish human life
Narratives persuade, compel
Exhausted, overburdened, overwhelmed

Denial of cellular decline

Toiling and building ever high
Co-dependent rival empires
We are obscuring the truth that lasts
We are rotting, we're decaying
We are all ash

May I find peace as I grapple futility?
Destiny? Creation and crumbling
Entropy comes for me, endlessly
Nostalgia for infinity

Righteous and fearful beg pardon from Gods
But time proves them wrong and it comes for us all
Time comes for us all

Solo: Burnet
Solo: Lussier

It's me...
Versus entropy

Can we stand tall still, in the face of ruin?
Is there meaning until it takes the last of us?

I ask nothing more than this: acceptance at the end
