Unsaid

Everything's gone, everything disappeared
This is worse than anything any one of us feared
People tried to tell us, and while they attempted to warn
They were all looked upon with contemptment and scorn
"You don't know what you're talking about"
"You're exaggerating the situation"
When in reality, they knew all the variables to the equation
And the letters, they spelled out ultimate demise
Just because people were stubborn, they wouldn't open their eyes
So really, none of this should really be a surprise
Because we all were warned, yet we never realized
What we were doing was destroying the fabric of our existence
That soon we'd be defeated, eyes glazed over and listless
Having no life left in them, no soul there at all
We orchestrated this, from the rise to the fall
Watching our world start to boil, then in a second, freeze
What we did would make anyone beg on hands and knees
Tell us to stop, what we're doing is wrong
Nothing in our lives could possibly last long
With the treatment it would receive
None of us could ever conceive
And even if we were told, we could never believe
So I suppose you couldn't blame us for not believing your premonition
That our world could disappear with one snap, like a magician
Everything being destroyed, this was not a demolition
We could do whatever we wanted, we gave ourselves permission
We believed there'd be no consequences, we honestly thought that
And I know how foolish that was, now that I've thought back
And you know what else I've noticed, you know what I've observed
That everything I saw, and everything I heard
Warned me of this cataclysm that I have conjured
But I can't feel bad, for it was well deserved
Because this we that I refer to, is me, my heart, and my pain
And the world I've created is the one in my brain
And the warnings I received about what I didn't do
Was not to wait so long, to say that I loved you
And I know now that in that decision, I was badly mistaken
Because now while you're standing on the altar, I'm trying to find a seat that isn't taken.
