Let the Rats Inherit the Earth

Here we are nowhere, and we're bored

Wherever, de-centered, untethered

'Cause we don't care anymore

Too bent out to bother, we're treading cold water

Throw the pretense overboard, cut your ties with the old guard

We end up suspended, we meant it

And I swear it's true

We don't know what to do

We process undoneness, you witness no-oneness

Let the hush wash over you till you're drowning in it

Undone by the high tide of evolution

Time unravels and devolves into repetition

And we're all too scared to hope

Deflated, unmade, and frustrated

'Cause we've got nothing to show

We process undoneness, you witness no-oneness

It's all purgatorial, revel in the great unknown

We end up suspended, we meant it

And that's fair, like sure

'Cause when your dream is deferred

You drift on like fodder, still treading cold water

And your pleas all go unheard, you sputter and you spin out

And stare up at the sky till your eyes glaze over

Your faith goes up in a blaze while the future burns

Goddamn, let the rats inherit the earth

Once you're bottomed out, it's on to something worse

Who's keeping score anymore?

We are, we are, we are

You can shout about it till your vision blurs

Or till you lose the feeling

Goddamn, let the rats inherit the earth

Once you're bottomed out, it's on to something worse

Who's keeping score anymore?

We are, we are, we are

And out there, when the flies and the buzzards swarm

Would you say a prayer? Would you know what for?

Who's even sure anymore?

We are, we are, we are

You can shout about it till your vision blurs

Or till you lose the feeling

Undone by the high tide of evolution

Too bent out to bother, we're treading cold water

Unravel and devolve into repetition

We process undoneness, you witness no-oneness

Undone by the high tide of evolution

We drift on like fodder, still treading cold water

Unravel and devolve into repetition

We end up suspended, we meant it, we're treading
