Temporarily - Telethon

Temporarily

We misplaced our rationality

Heard from some channel that we’re going extinct

Locked eyes with the others, and started to think

About the way it’s all gone, and the way that it goes

Seemed strangely familiar

A likely scenario

Temporarily!

Cut ties with the old mundanity!

Maybe even embraced;

praised the careful design

All hail the countdown to untimely demise

Relief from the strains of our uncomfortable lives

Detachment, ‘shit happens' as the rallying cry

And who can blame us?

No one’ll save us

Turns out our contributions were all meaningless

Sucks to go before we planned, but being here has been a drag

In summative retrospect, if we can use that term yet

Good riddance to our cold mother earth

And her axial rotation (which apparently we’re not worth)

Oh!

Here’s to the good times, here’s to the home team

Pour one out now, or hold your peace for eternity

Temporarily

Out the window goes a sense of sanity

Amazing how quickly a culture so strictly

Invested in reason, finding feasible

Workarounds gave into the latter half of

‘Get busy living, or get busy dying'
