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 stories, 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 We're 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 stories, belonging to their tale Maybe we always did? We watched it all so blind and ignorant We watched it all so blind It fell apart, too frail and delicate
