Stepping Back

From Decline's Downsizing album

when i look back
and see the world falling down
i stop and i wonder how long
before it hits the ground
when i look ahead
and see the lights fading out
i know that the world will never be a better place

and i wonder
will anything ever change
i see the look in your eye
you fear we lost our way
in the distance
i hear the cry of my own ghost
what lies ahead will be tragic
but theres no point in stepping back

6 billion symptoms
6 billion patients only one disease
it's the threat of human kind
that puts the world on it's knees
fuck the back track
we're past the point of no return
nothing left to do now but watch it burn

and i wonder
will anything ever change
we cant look to the past
things were just the same
now i know that
we all live a hopeless cause
what lies ahead will be tragic
but there's no point in stepping back
