Neaera

Storm and sea
Punish us piece by piece
But world economy must grow
If we drown, we drown in luxury
Why should we save lives we'll never meet?
Why should we not destroy?
...ourselves
We're dancing to the end on volcanoes
Screaming pantomimes in our ears
At night, we set our beds ablaze
Orphaning the future – orphaning ourselves
The change we cause
Will slowly destroy your tiny world
And you have nothing to stay
You're helpless
Consumed
Why should we save lives we'll never meet?
Why should we not destroy ourselves?
