Finite

Finite moments, finite breath, wasted
Embracing a reason bereft of conclusion
When knowledge is misconceived as meaning, wisdom as purpose
We embrace a world that offers no hope
Born unto death
Recycle; repeat
Until the end, adrift
And nothing

Nothing
And in our search, we abandoned faith
And in our reaching, we found truth
Hope turned to ash, carried by the winds of change
We wrought to choke the world in our despair

No future but nothing
And in our search, we abandoned hope
And in our reaching, we found truth
Hope turned to ash, carried by the winds of change
We wrought to choke the world in our despair

Despair
On this day, we wake to a barren world
Relentless grey
In our knowledge, we have exhausted meaning
Human kind has crossed the line of despair
All that's left is meaningless
