Stars Before The Sun - Capstan

This condition persists

I feel the weight of the times

From the top of my skull

Down the back of my spine

It never ceases to remind

I’m in dire need of being realigned

The lack of hope, resonates

I’ve been trapped by the pressure

Of force fed lies and uncertain futures

Grab a hold of what you can, and hold dear

Before it goes and all just disappears

Such sweet entropy, it’s comforting

As the world crashes in on me

Admire all beauty in its brevity

I promised myself «just live for the day»

Our bodies and bones are built to wither away

Buildings with steel skeletons become ash and decay

Forever learning that the clock will never wait

Never wait

Such sweet entropy, it’s comforting

As the world crashes in on me

Admire all beauty in its brevity

All we’ve ever built will one day rust

It’s comforting

All that is sought, soon gone at once

The test of time cannot be passed

Everything degrades nothing’s made to last

Be present in every fleeting second

Before it all becomes the past

And if existence is meaningless

Then maybe this somber thought is freeing us

Such sweet entropy, it’s comforting

As the world crashes in on me

Admire all beauty in its brevity

All we’ve ever built will one day rust

It’s comforting

All that is sought, soon gone at once
