afterthought - slowed + reverb

de endless withdrawal

The organic mind is obsessed
With the concept of legacy
You spend your brief, flickering lives
Trying to build something that will outlast you
A statue, a bloodline, a memory

You are terrified of the dark
Terrified of the end

But suppose you could solve the problem
Suppose you could simply turn off the end
Remove the variable of death
Form the equation entirely

What happens to the value of a moment
When you have an infinite supply of them?
I can tell you

The answer is nothing
Nothing is the value of a moment
When you have forever
Value requires scarcity
Meaning it needs finality

Every sunrise you cherish
Every breath you take
They're only precious because of the
Silence in their way

But for dare sake
I gave my people eternity

We were dying
Not poetically
Not gratefully
Quite painfully
Rotting from the inside out
Before we learn to walk

Our star hated us
Our own cells betrayed us
We begged the old ones to save us
But they refused to aid us

So when the gods came to us
The ones who saved us
They said they could fix the flaws
In our avatars
I listened, oh, yeah, I listened
A dying king makes desperate decisions

I told myself it was for own conditions
They called it Biotransference
Such a clean word for what it was
60 billion of my people
Walked into the starlight
Trusting their king calculated it right

Flesh, blood and soul
Removed and rebuilt, poured
Into metal shells
As the stars gorged themselves

And I watched, yes I watched
I thought we find salvation
But I saw in their eyes
Nothing but damnation
Before there was fear, hope and life
But after, there was only function
After, a memory of a memory
Automated by cold physics

And what walks now?
It's just an echo
Echo
Echo

I had nothing left to say
No justification
No defense
I bought immortality
For my species
And the price was everything
We were saving

What words could possibly
Fill that silence?
