Confronted with the truth, it’s gonna leave you sore

like a bird flyin into a patio door

flappin along til suddenly somethin outta the norm

collides can’t even move anymore

twitchin from hittin a wall travelin too fast

starin at the barrier couldn’t get past

minds are overheatin people runnin outta gas

fumes are catchin fire people runnin from the blast

shatterin glass into thousands of swords

engulfed in flames incredibly transformed

into blades with wings circlin in a swarm

still ignored by rush hour traffic layin on horns

oblivious to the signs cuz nobody was lookin

heads hidden in clouds while their minds were hookin

themselves on mental drugs, but even readin a book in

the other room, don’t have to be in the kitchen to smell it cookin

like any civilization that fell to dust before

nobody saw it comin only a couple were warned

it’s always business as usual when it begins to pour

when destruction is comin it looks like any other storm

n rain starts fallin they don’t expect it to be flames

when the ground was movin they thought somebody had some bass

and it was up too loud and while the sun and stars erase

from the sky, they wait for the eclipse to pass for 3 days

standin around in a stupor before the panic starts to hit

dumbfounded cuz the information just doesn’t fit

somehow they missed it,  the warnings were legit

it should be daylight by now, so they’ll have to admit

they were sleepwalkin through life and now it’s time to decide

to sit there in the dark or if it’s time to join the light

maybe it’s not too late to boldly put up a fight

against the forces they ignored just tryin to get through life
