Perpetual Notion - The Agonist

Give us your potions

To conceal the decay

A never ending tomorrow

And a forgotten today

An extended stay

In the arms of security

A fear of the unknown

And the slow death of longevity

You have yet to understand existence

Tell me what’s so grand about infinity

When time is defied

(a product in the making)

All reason goes blind

(to sell to the weaker)

And if we deny

(victims of nature)

The meaning of life

(to extend the lie)

What will there be left

For us to preserve

Come drown in the fountain

Submit to the water’s grasp

Sleepwalking through ages

No thought of collapse

Embers glow — hanging on

Slips smoke to the sky

An act of The Futile

To blink the mind’s eye

You have yet to understand existence

Tell me what’s so great about infinity

When time is defied

(a product in the making)

All reason goes blind

(to sell to the weaker)

And if we deny

(victims of nature)

The meaning of life

(to extend the lie)

What will there be left

For us to preserve

With no final words

To bring meaning to death

Will we ever accept the end?
