The Afternoon (As bad As It Seems)

(It's a bad as it seems)
August 19, 2023 was the first day of the disaster
Down a river of fate floats a little girl's brains
It's a tragedy but something comes after
My God, it happens fast
Nothing stands a chance unless you make it built-to-last
I'm still in denial but someone said it
Heaven hit the afternoon

(It's as bad as it seems)
There's nothing to do but wait for the end
We're falling below this
Oh no it's the afternoon
But the world's too gone to notice
There's no one to pay or save in the end
We're falling below this
Oh no it's the afternoon
Stealing all the evening light

In the end there's no regrets
No questions in my head
No one needs to hear me sing
(I hear myself)
If I knew that all you get was one deep breath
I may have messed with Major Tom

(It's as bad as it seems)
There's nothing to do but wait for the end
We're falling below this
Oh no it's the afternoon
But the world's too gone to notice
There's no one to pay or save in the end
We're falling below this
Oh no it's the afternoon
Staring at the evening news

(It's as bad as it seems)
There's nothing to do but wait for the end
We're falling below this
Oh no it's the afternoon
But the world's too gone to notice
There's no one to pay or save in the end
We're falling below this
Oh no it's the afternoon
Staring at the evening news
It's as bad as it seems
It's as bad as it seems
