The Countdown

Can't quell the unease inside Can't shake the feeling That all the denial is a case of Seeing is not believing But how can you not believe something That right in front of your eyes If reality doesn't suit you You just disregard the science Theres only a few more years now Before the line is crossed No hope no life no future Just a burning husk Time has a countdown Each second lasts for only as long as you can breathe through burning facts The universal truth is that You can't argue dumb You'll be wasting your time There's bigger fights to come Vaccination base on years of trial and success Suddenly everyone is an expert In epidemiology I guess You have to put your faith in those with expertise Not something you read online that just Puts your mind at ease Time has a countdown Each second lasts and feels a lifetime fighting alternative facts Its hard to feel any pity For those who cannot change They've picked a fact And that can't be rearranged Evidence is nothing but a blight to them All the reason in the world you just condemn You have to pick your battles You have to just ignore The sewage of social media No one's nice anymore Time has a countdown And we're all on trial Marching to a fiery death in single file Time has a countdown And it's a ticking bomb The bodies start to pile up while we all remain calm Time has a countdown Its warnings ignore The wealthy count their money as the planet's transformed Time has a countdown Humanity's gone Just possessions rotting on the ground in a brand-new dawn
