Ashen Mesh

Digesting what's left, shrieking through an ashen mesh
Carving at what is, peeling back a festering scab
Displacing cosmic purpose, dirty needles in the vein
Generations the same, climbing and falling at her feet

Eating what's been taken, feasting at her table
Tongues gone on unchecked, voices felt unbridled
Existence lined with ease, all taken for granted
Carrion dogs sifting through the smoldering rubble

The Earth shrugs off the corpse of our species
The forest vomits our remains into the dust
Machines collapse onto charred burning limbs
Shafts of steel thrust us towards the vault
The cell rejects the intruding pathogen
The bliss of extinction and nothing more
The planet sings sweetly of empty chambers
Of a future without the threat of species

Earth shrugs off the corpse of our species
The forest vomits our remains into the dust
The cell rejects the intruding pathogen
The planet singing sweetly of death
