Packing bags, making plans, checking train times.
Fighting the monotony of nine to five.
Your job does nothing; you're pushing papers through a roof.
There was never such an exhausted culture or such pointless proof, for we are trapped in our development.
We don't get to choose our time.
We're the only things on earth that fear that we are born to die.
Do you wonder why?
Packing bags, making plans to fill your emptiness inside.
Grieving the small tragedies of our tiny lives.
All I want now is to figure out how to stay alive.
And though I am just one, I refuse to close my eyes.
In this age of information, where all we know is that the world is sick, faith in revolution is replaced by the myth of apocalypse.
