Crashing down

We don’t know what we’re doing

We’re just digging ourselves a hole
To fall into, and that’s our only goal

Even though we think everything is improving,

*

Burying ourselves with our own creations

The sky gets smaller and smaller

As the piles get taller and taller

And buried underneath whole nations.

*

As we just keep on creating

More and more stuff

Not knowing it’s already enough,

Enough of everything but it’s no use debating.

*

We just don’t know when to stop,

When to quit the wasting

And it seems that we are hasting

Towards the inevitable drop.

*

We don’t know it yet but we’re tumbling out of the sky

Into the darkness below – we can already say good-bye

Because every person, every country, every town

Is already crashing down…
