Flatlining

I'm going spastic on this beat
'Cause I'm batshit crazy on the scene of the crime
I'm busting a rhyme, a rusted design
Like a crack fiend
I'm chasing the next hit
Like the fans of Madonna, so get keen
I wonder, oh let me say what I wanna say to the world
I ponder what it would be like to get seen

I don't wanna get mixed up in this
Like a motherfucking Petri dish
I wanna make something of this
Sick of swimming with the stream
Like every fish's streamlined, nothing ever is

I'm puzzled, tryna put these motherfucking pieces together like Tetris, bitch
Let this glitch, this system would be better off if it did
I don't wanna break the mould
Just fold it like origami and mould it like Play-Doh
System has already starting to grow mould
It's so old, it's like Plato
Stop schooling my thoughts
Let me think for myself, fuck being taught
I am stressed enough to scalp my mind from the inside out
And even more

This world is standing idle
Guess humanity's suicidal
Tipping over the edge in a downward spiral
Like a vinyl losing balance
One wheeled unicycle
No revival, genocidal
Fuck the cycle, in denial
Vital signs flatlining as we die though

World is standing idle
Guess humanity's suicidal
Tipping over the edge in a downward spiral
Like a vinyl losing balance
One wheeled unicycle
No revival, genocidal
Fuck the cycle, in denial
Vital signs flatlining as we die though

This world is standing idle, I'm living in denial
This pile of shit's got me wishing I could fly to the mountains
Glide down and count the stars from my cabin in the woods
I'll be vanishing for good
Mother nature's not our enemy, she's just misunderstood
All of the shit that she's endured from the human race
We're a disgrace
It's time we matured

But it only seems like we're getting younger
Now our world is starting to go under
How many times have we picked up the ball and fumbled?
Our leaders are getting dumber, our days are numbered
The ground is starting to rumble, the whole system is about to crumble

I wish I could take it back to the days when I was just a kid
When I didn't have to deal with any of this shit
When I didn't give a fuck about life, I just lived
Before I had a job that made me want to quit
That old way of life blew away with the wind
One day it was there and then the next it disappeared
This world it's a puzzle gotta find out where I fit

Fuck this jigsaw, I'm flipping the table
My place in life doesn't come with a label
You think life should be stable
Stability is fatal
And if I'm able, I'm gonna live life my way
No fucking red tape, no time for debates
No direction, but straight
So get out of my way, I'm never going to deflate

This world is standing idle
Guess humanity's suicidal
Tipping over the edge in a downward spiral
Like a vinyl losing balance
One wheeled unicycle
No revival, genocidal
Fuck the cycle, in denial

I'm beginning to feel like life is spinning a wheel of misfortune
Just finna instil fear and or to just teach us a lesson that nature's superior
For real, I hope it has taught you
Climate change on the brink of extinguishing our flame
Fighting fire with fire, planet is burning on a pyre
News spreads when the town cryer is worldwide
Like coronavirus as we expire

Yeah, I don't wanna run from this like diarrhoea
Sick pun intended when I say I like beer
Slick, feeling kinda like a pioneer
Prick my ears just to hear the apocalypse is near
Living in this new era that we got here
New way of life, economy fucked for years to come
Here's to us, old way of life is nearly done

It's not that awesome, there's enforcement to stay indoors
When this world is at war with the invisible enemy
Hidden from the adversary, so he can't get at me
Don't wash your hands and it could be the end of me
This viral entity is a chameleon hidden in plain sight
That motherfucker can pretend to be a common cold
Please let it be, otherwise there'll be no remedy
Just a recipe for disaster
And after the fact, what the fuck are we supposed to do?
I'm aghast at the bastards in charge
Thinking only about the economy and not me and you
Solely plain old monotony in view

This world is standing idle
Guess humanity's suicidal
Tipping over the edge in a downward spiral

Let me give you a concept
An unstoppable force meets an immovable object
If they collide, we can't grasp the consequence
'Cause the force has so much confidence and the object lacks no competence
But it's inevitable that they're gonna hit
My hypothesis is an explosion like if superman attacked Metropolis
Well the force is humanity, the object is the planet they live on
We're either gonna bomb this place to kingdom come
Or burn like we launched ourselves to the sun

When it's all said and done, gotta face what we've become
Doesn't sound like fun but the reality is that we've fucked ourselves
There's nowhere to hide, there's nowhere to run
No one's safe from the virus
No one's safe from the tyrants
No one's safe from the climate
We can't deny that it's no surprise that the whole world's scared out of their minds
We're living in a time of preparation for the end of our lives
Will humanity survive or is this the kick in the ass we needs to thrive?
