Nihilist Prayer

I've built my thoughts upon hope
Can't you see it's written on the walls
Standing here all alone
From afar I see

I've built my thoughts upon hope
Can't you see it's written on the walls
Standing here all alone
From afar I see what I call tragedy

The world revolves
No denying that
I lost myself in the sea of believers
To live is, to live is to suffer

Why should we be loyal
To the nightmare chosen for us
Everything's nonexistent
But atoms and empty space

Why should we be loyal
To the nightmare chosen for us
Everything's nonexistent
But atoms and empty space

You'll be in deep drifted snow
Gold plated fantasies
The sequence of waves will smash you all the same
This is a nihilist prayer.

I've built my thoughts upon hope
Can't you see it's written on the walls
Standing here all alone
From afar I see what I call tragedy

The air thickens the water sours
The state of the cosmos is death
Everything's beautiful for we are doomed
Everything's more beautiful because we're fucking doomed.

Why should we be loyal
To the nightmare chosen for us
Everything's nonexistent
But atoms and empty space

To the nightmare chosen for us
Everything's nonexistent
But atoms and empty space

I've built my thoughts upon hope
Can't you see it's written on the walls
Standing here all alone
From afar I see

I've built my thoughts upon hope
Can't you see it's written on the walls
Standing here all alone
From afar I see what I call tragedy

I'll cherish the day the sky cracks open
The Gods envy us for we are mortal
