costly decisions
lead to costly consequences
worlds torn down, ripped apart
effaced from existence

blot it out, erase the pain
white-out takes it all away
destroying hope, ending chances
sorrow begins, it's playtime again

just run away
dodge the attacking vultures
you can go away
you don't have to be a soldier

acknowledge patience of predators
dreaming without minds
of what will soon become
a silver platter

don't try to fly, caring not to cry
forced to live a lie, corrupt you'll die
reaching far, you come up short
hands are sweating, but they shut the door

but you can run away
dodge the attacking vultures
just go away
you don't have to be a soldier

they are trapped, unable to help
you place a bet, but it favors extinction

obliterate thoughts
you can't let them out
'cause somehow you know
that you need them

block it out, cut it off
flip the switch and let it go
