Falling down the rabbit hole
There’s none down there but ash and bone
Cries from an unclear past
Tell us to get out
Fast fast fast
You must not breathe in the ash
As your falling down the rabbit hole
Falling slow and falling fast
See all history
Come to pass
Mistakes made again and again
When will kids play again?
A victim of our own demise
As a race we never get wise
And as you’re breathing in the ash
The evil that men do
Present then pass
