Into Dust

Drive through the city at night
Trying to stay distracted
Past the dead eyes
Past the cold hands
I see the blood on the street
I see the smoke in the air
But further down the street
I see a different picture
Towers like Babylon
Reach up and block out the sun
This can’t go on forever
Soon it will all be gone
I Know it’s hard for you
It’s all you’ve ever known
So much that you’ve collected
The wealth that you protected
Every brick, every page, every bone, into dust
Every block, every cage, every grave, into dust
Every screen, every glass, every wheel, into dust
I know it’s hard for you
It’s all you’ve every known
So much that you’ve protected
The wealth that you wrecked
Every brick, every page, every bone, into dust
Every block, every cage, every grave, into dust
Every screen, every glass, every wheel, into dust
