Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mark Fisher saw the world had changed its course
Capitalism conquered every space and force
No alternatives could penetrate the wall
Capitalist realism consumed it all
The future that we dreamed of disappeared
Left only present tense and growing fear

[Chorus]
Where did tomorrow go, where did it hide
The slow cancellation creeping from inside
Hauntology whispers what we've lost
The future's been deleted at what cost
Time stands still while progress dies
No alternative beneath these skies

[Verse 2]
Depression spreads like fog across the land
When visions of change slip through our hands
The ghosts of possibilities that died
Haunt spaces where our hopes once tried to thrive
Consumer culture swallows every dream
Nothing's real beyond the market scheme

[Chorus]
Where did tomorrow go, where did it hide
The slow cancellation creeping from inside
Hauntology whispers what we've lost
The future's been deleted at what cost
Time stands still while progress dies
No alternative beneath these skies

[Bridge]
From punk rock's death to culture's endless loop
We're trapped inside a temporal feedback scoop
The spectres of what might have been
Dance in the spaces that could have been
Fisher mapped this broken time
Where innovation's pantomime

[Verse 3]
Business ontology rules the day
Every human function swept away
Into the logic of the spreadsheet cell
Where only profit margins ring the bell
The future cancelled bit by bit
Until we can't imagine it

[Final Chorus]
Where did tomorrow go, can we retrieve
The visions that would help us still believe
Hauntology calls us to remember
What died in capitalism'sember
Break the spell of there's no way
Find alternatives today

[Outro]
Fisher showed us what we've lost
Now we must count the real cost
Of futures cancelled, dreams denied
Time to turn the rushing tide
