So the World Is Ending

from Tower by Leonardo's Robot

lyrics

There ain’t no makin sense, not of this one, oh,
I know you’ll try.
That wild extended bedlam, then an overbearing still,
Chaotic itself in some ways.
That constant sun—
It’s going down, down, down.

And didn’t you ask for this,
The collapse of the superposition?
And didn’t you ask for this,
The outside coming in, like you know what you want?
Well now it’s here,
So tell me, what comes next?


You’ll scramble round for symbols from long ago,
All amber-flashed.
A steaming cup of coffee, and a half-smoked cigarette,
A courtyard bathed in light.
You’ll let them in,
And they will pull your heart to bits.

But shouldn’t you push for this?
This painful realisation?
And wasn’t it made for this?
To grow and collapse underneath its astonishing weight?
About damn time,
It’s coming down.


It’s coming down.
It’s coming down like it was built to.
All that iron, bone and rust
Raining down around you.
You’ve got a hatchet of your own,
See you swing it true.

You’re coming down.
You’re coming down like you were meant to.
Whatcha putting up?
What could possibly replace you?
You know that nothing’s ever old,
And nothing’s ever new.
