The city is sinking

Deep beneath the earth

There lies a place

Full of empty space

Like the void in my heart

You tore apart

While we float above it

I can’t breathe

Here or below

But I can’t leave

Even though I need to be let go

The water is swallowing us whole

As We’re drowning in sorrow

This is our own fault

I look in the mirror

And find a ghost staring back at me

This is now normal

But the last city on earth

Is here but not alive

She is starving

She is dying

We stripped the soil of nutrients

Bioengineered food is all around

Nobody can survive

We swim ashore

But there is no hope

To keep our bodies afloat

In the wreckage of lust weve caused

I just wish we could pause

And turn back time

To when we were alive

Not just able to survive
