Snails and Men

Snails and men
Both so slow
With salted wounds
Broken in woe
Healing womb
Deadly air
Corruption
Infects our prayers

Die tonight
To free ourselves
Of the pain
Die tonight
‘Cause our minds
Are dismantled
Only left with shame

And this disease
Has spread so far
A catastrophe
Within our air
Poisoning our youth
With darkened selfish virtues

And this disease
Has plagued this land
With dying trees
And tainted sand
Crippling the young
With scars upon their tongues

In a world like this
How can we survive?
If we’re all so selfish
And love deprived
How can we ever pull through?
Living off these lies
Dying without a truth
