Paroles de A Format For The Future

I believe it's been precisely planned
The day the world will end
We'll all be vacationing holding hands
Lullabies sung by a steel drum band

And by then I'll have figured out
Why all I ever did was shake my fist
For no one to see when I read
Of a million dead so now what's left

Just a prodigal catastrophe
And if I sound bitter, please excuse me
But it's hard for the plants to imagine
Telling the forest to see itself through the trees

Can some one please hand me a clue
I've exhausted my ammunition
I've got so much left to do
But I seem to be lacking direction

Dry erase our history
So it's easily wiped away
Effervescent in its simplicity
How conveniently I forget

How I wish to be a boy again The blood of my youth has all but escaped
Leaving in its wake tired poems
Grab what's to take and get going

Just a prodigal catastrophe
And if I sound bitter, please excuse me
But it's hard for the ant to imagine
Telling the forest to see its self through the trees

Can you excuse me please?
