Shouting In a Vacuum

This is a time of elimination
Of surrendering hope in our autonomy
This is an epoch of destruction
Of discarding investments in our humanity
We must relinquish any hope we've placed
Misplaced trust in our posterity
We must reject any confidence
Confidence in our ability
To reclaim our deadened souls
From this plague that pervades our form
To bring light out of black holes
So we can be transformed
If we would remain deluded
Concerning the insufficiency of our mortal resonance
We would just be shouting in a vacuum
Trying to wake a sleeping world
There must be a more powerful frequency
Imperceptible to our sensory apparatus
That breaks the patterns of the soul
And severs stubborn hands that won’t let go
Make no mistake
Letting go is like death
It’s like choking on your last breath
