lyrics

huddled in the ocean, people boil alive
to escape the rising flames in the sky
when the planet’s nothing but a morsel of char
see the moon drift in the darkness
kind of lonely but alright with it
(kind of lonely but alright with it)
(kind of lonely but alright with it)

armageddon fantasies help me unwind
a little stress won’t matter at the end of time
let the secret service fear I’m hatching plans
yes I dwell on our extinction
but I’m harmless as a kitten most of the time

I get along with those around me
at my job they like me well
in the realm of normal conversation
certain thoughts I know not to tell
certain thoughts I know not to tell
and they’re here right now

I got a yearning for annihilation
I got a hankering to cross the wires
an introvert in overstimulation
solitude will come after the fire

wanna be a wanderer of ghostly shores
tallying the bodies like they do in wars
wanna feel emotionless, removed as I can
a post-apocalyptic nomad, empty-eyed
and without a memory of the crime

I get along with those around me
at my job they like me well
in the realm of normal conversation
certain thoughts I know not to tell
certain thoughts I know not to tell
and they’re here right now

I got a yearning for annihilation
I got a hankering to cross the wires
an introvert in overstimulation
solitude will come after the world has burned away

(I’ve got the yearning)
(I’ve got the yearning)

well you can hide in the mountains or crawl underground
buildings are melting, it’s all coming down
molten sidewalks, a vision surreal
when it’s all over I wonder how better I’ll feel

yes I dwell on our extinction
but I’m harmless as a kitten most of the time

I get along with those around me
at my job they like me well
in the realm of normal conversation
certain thoughts I know not to tell
and they’re here right now
and they’re here right now
they’re here right now
they’re here

I got a yearning for annihilation
I got a hankering to cross the wires
an introvert in overstimulation
solitude will come after the fire
