Tragedy of the Commons

from Find New Relevance by THE WELL TEMPERED

lyrics

In three years this will have all felt like a dream
I was never really here
There's no need to glean the memory that we did meet
And you may think of me here
You may think of me there
But you never really can be sure
If I ever did exist at all
No sense of loss to confirm the facts

Embrace the tragedy
How it seems our wisdom lacks empathy
A voice will beckon "Come and see"
We embrace each other so selfishly
We can't manage to raise our eyes
And meet the gaze of those we left behind
Oh embrace, embrace the tragedy of the commons
And those who are yet to be

In three years you won't be sure what this all means
I was taken somewhere else
There's no mystery
No complications to how this seems
And all the subsequent hours in the mirror you stare
Missing a presence that you can't recall
Are you witnessing your mind dissolve?
Or is survival not a conscious act?

Why hasn't this sparked a craze?
Would someone please just explain this better to me?
My hope is lost in a maze
Would someone please separate this terror from me?

Just stay aware in this place
Please stay aware in the face of it all
Just take your path and retrace
Oh in the darkness...

You may think of me here
You may think of me there
But you never really can be sure
If I ever did exist at all
If we ever did exist at all
