One Day Closer to the End of the World lyrics
by Cattle Decapitation
[Verse 1]
Awaken to the reality
Left stranded, hope has vanished
An opportunity for failure
One day closer to the end of all life on this f*cking planet
Death obsessed, infatuation with cessation
Eternal rest
Request for death at my behest
Held close to the breast
Clutched tight with all my might this Smith & Wesson
Us humans never learn our lessons
Possessed with deep aggression
Self-hate, the great depression
Confessing love for the end
[Chorus]
Why do we keep letting this life come between us?
The years won't wipe away desire for the end times
[Post-Chorus]
Exit laughter
Exit pleasure
Exit appreciation
What have we done to this world?
All hail mortem
All hail silence
All hail death
Where have you been all our lives?
[Verse 2]
One day closer
To the final tragedy
Born a life sentence of a hell on Earth that we can't avoid
[Chorus]
Why do we keep letting this life come between us?
The years won't wipe away desire for the end times
[Post-Chorus]
Lust for dying
Lust for extinction
Lusting for euthanasia
What have we done to ourselves?
[Bridge]
We would never have asked for any of this
A chemistry that's as black as any abyss
Before our eyes, deep in our minds, hope is swallowed
A bleak despair in the air fills the hollows
One day we all will mean nothing
Shallow graves to tomb the suffering
And the pale horse's reins pulling my heartstrings
[Outro]
We walk alone from natality until mortality
We navigate lethality until fatality
Everything that's now living will one day meet its demise
Out of breath, out of time, a species out of its mind
