Time is like a serpant
That devours its own tail
The coils grow ever-tighter
With each moment it inhales
A forboding sense of deja v
That cannot be ignored
Its hard to help but feel
Weve seen and done this all before
History be damned
Its only progress we embrace
Our eyes closed to the circles
That our memories re-trace
Arrogance & avarice
Distort our field of view
A re-run culture takes your past
And sells it back to you
Decades pass and years go by
Days dissolve into the ether
Condense like clouds
And come raining back down
But we are blind to this debris
Piling up around our feet
Oblivious
And its killing us
Fear and loathing paralyze
The populace throughout
Disengage the rhetoric
That brought this all about
Overcome and overun
Pretend all this is new
Surely well be hailed as heros
When this all is through
Decades pass and years go by
Days dissolve into the ether
Condense like clouds
And come raining back down
But we are blind to this debris
Piling up around our feet
Oblivious
And its killing us
