The Abstract Of A Planet In Resolve

Once again, here I am

On the precipice of breathlessness, my lungs collapse

I can't escape the act

If I live in a city where they hunt me down

How long do you expect me to stay and wait to calibrate?

If I bribe the committee with an offering

Will they offer me commitment or calcify the magistrate?

'Cause when I give in

I hope that I can be a better man in the end and carry on

But when you give up

Then everything we've ever shared will self-destruct and tip the scales

And choose to prevail

If I live in a country where they propagate the wealth

In corporate raids, then who am I to speak?

They forgive you of nothing

And they breed, and they breed, and they breed 'til they overstimulate the Earth

And feed upon the weak

'Cause when I give in

I hope that I can be a better man in the end and carry on

But when you give up (you give up)

Then everything we've ever shared will self-destruct (in my soul)

And tip the scales (it is all but you)

And choose to prevail

If I live in a world where a consciousness exists

Outside the walls of pain, ignorance, and habitual waste

I will stand on the edge of the Earth

As a monument to the greater good of man

To be born again
