Superman Died Paralyzed

If you do not believe it
You're still gonna see it
What you think you're beating
But no one escapes

Living for the now
Is it irresponsible?
Or is this the only time we have?
Or is this the only time that there ever was?

I think we've reached the conclusion
Of a species astray
When success becomes an illusion
How will you live your day?
No metric left except love and survival
Won't be anything more

So don't lie awake
Waiting for dreams
Go force them out of your mind
Life passes by
Don't stay asleep
You won't be given a sign
When it's your time

Crippled by our fear
With empty attention for blood
Created God yet still we remain human
So let the worst of us inherit earth
Dying just begins our birth
Travel light into your hearse

I know we've reached the conclusion
Of a species astray
When success becomes an illusion
How will you live your day?
No metric left except love and survival
Will not be anything more

Will you choose to be awake?
To find that suffering takes many forms?
You'll find that suffering takes many forms
Eternal suffering takes many forms
