Lullaby: Atomic by Final Perigee

this light that blinds us
is not the sunshine
the fires that burn us
were once for comfort

the words that shout have now become a whisper
the quaking earth cries out to us
our eyes are closed to colors of the after
now we will swallow dust into our lungs

a wash of silence and then
we travel among the stars
now time and space will bend
and when we reminisce
we'll have new confidnce
that everything was a dream

we built our shelters
we gathered nourishment
our past defined us
our future taunted us

then selfish nature festered into violence
the sticks and stones that came from words
our eyes were open only to the vanity
we cut the thread that tied us to the way

a wash of silence and then
we travel among the stars
now time and space will bend
and when we reminisce
we'll have new confidence
that everything was a dream
