The Confessions of Alec Ambrose (Original My West Texas Hell Song)

This world is dying, the people fall like ash in a blacked out sky
This city is burning; this plague will devour us all and leave no trace
Will I find an answer? Can I make the cure, or has my life been for nothing after all
As the people flee from insanity, I'm left in this goddamn room

Has it been for nothing, will we lose we all have achieved
And what have we even achieved, cause we fight just to fight and we kill just to prove nothing
If I make this cure, the rage and the death will all come to an end
Only to be replaced by more ignorant deaths from these ignorant men,
That run this world with their need to ascend,
To the global hegemony controlling these states, serving their own interests feeding on hate
But the lives I've known and the loves I've lost, keep me going, but at what cost?
And I wish I could take back mistakes that I've made, I've sacrificed too much for this world full of decay
Will I just postpone humanities fall, and do I have the strength...to save us all?

As I look back on all I have done, I only see loneliness and regret.
At 25, I feel the hope of this world is on my shoulders
Does anyone know, will anyone be alive to tell of my story?
Of the kid who tried, the kid who never gave up til' his last dying breathe

Has it been worth it, to live in my work, and lose her love?
And what do we have if not love, a failed existence, a cold dark place
So as I spend these days, I fight for our future through the eyes of a lens
The last beacon of hope through these darkening days where the streets line with death, as mothers and fathers bury their kids,
Awaiting the virus to take its toll, and turn them to something they cannot control,
I try so hard to save mankind, but will it be to late will I run out of time?
If I could have one more day back before it began, I go back to her and I'd grasp her hand
I'd quit my work and leave with her, living our lives with no surrender.
I'd kiss her brow I'd hold her so tight, and protect her from this world all through the nights...
But I made my decision, my seeds have been sewn, and it seems that I will die all-alone.
I just wish I could have one more day, to tell her I love her and that everything would be okay...
