We the Remaining Humans

I’m treading water through lies So thick that I might drown I come across one solid truth And hang on for my life The fog of lies grows thicker And yet I find another I’m building something true A grounded world view Everything’s wrong Everything’s upside down Trust was a song A dream from a long time ago And we with our feet in the dirt Are banned Too heavy for virtual bliss They’re all the same Mindless and on repeat Spirits all tame Passion for shallow useless lies We the remaining humans Turn the long poisoned soil We feed it our sweat and blood We somehow survive Meanwhile the drones Succubi of sustenance Sweeping overhead Extracting every last hope We plant our seeds in the dust Water with droplets and care Grounded with bare feet we strive For life on a separate plain Too heavy for virtual bliss And still a more meaningful life Greeting the sun with a smile Everything’s wrong Everything’s upside down Trust was a song A dream from a long time ago And we with our feet in the dirt Are banned Too heavy for virtual bliss We the remaining humans Turn the long poisoned soil We feed it our sweat and blood We somehow survive We plant our seeds in the dust Water with droplets and care Grounded with bare feet we strive For life on a separate plain Too heavy for virtual bliss And still a more meaningful life Greeting the sun with a smile
