Civilization's Dead

I'm Dead.

I breathe, but there is not life.

I stand steadily, but I'm in strife.

I see, but it is not reality.

I think, but it's not the truth...

 

I'm Dead.

I speak, but no one listens.

I hear, but there's no one speaking.

I try to move, but this force is binding.

I look for hope, but it's bleak...

     I live, but I am dead.

 

We're dead.

There's color, but it's all black.

There's light, but the darkness prevails.

There's a flame, but it's quickly dimming.

There's lucidity, but it's gloomy...

       We live, but there is no humanity.
