about

A three minute history of humanity.

lyrics

We started with such promise, right?
Like greatness was upon us. We'd fly.
We started with a purpose like
it would all be worth it. No need to hide.
It would all be worth it. Until we die.
It would all be worth it 'til we say our goodnight.

Things have gone a little sideways since then.
Got split up into factions of races and when
someone tries to pull us together again
we have to destroy them. We'll never mend.
We have to destroy them. All hope to rend.
We have to destroy them so we'll meet our end.

And it'll all be worth it. All be worth it.
And I'll be worth it. I'll be worth it.
If you're sticking around. Thinking of sticking around.
