Ephemerally

Ashes to ashes dust to dust
It happened with a flash on a muddy dusk
Abiogenesis down in a cesspool
Sparked a bit of life in some macromolecules
Big blue rock was a fertile petri dish
So the rock started moving, changing, morphed into fish
Billions of years of evolving sensories they grew a few limbs
and they turned into monkeysHumankind is on the path to self-destruction
Tragedy of the commons we can't see further
Shooting stars, we're burning bright and bound to fizzle
Kill ourselves just for some glory, ephemerallyWe went tripping all around
Goddamn we started feeling sounds
This ain't some sort of funky fever
Neurons connecting something deeper
Upstairs carpet textures crawling
Falling in the closet, moving up the wall and
Jungle grump is in the forest seeing all the trees
Let's go to the chorusHumankind is on the path to self-destruction
Tragedy of the commons we can't see further
Shooting stars, we're burning bright and bound to fizzle
Kill ourselves just for some glory, ephemerally
