Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's oppressively distant to me Now fulfilment's a myth and happiness a dream That I had on a night where I couldn't even sleep It's oppressively distant to me Don't make me ask you to leave me alone A page ripped from the end of our dog-eared tome A piss in the underpass I learnt to call home Don't make me ask you to leave me alone 'Cause then I'll have [Chorus] Fewer closer friends The conjugated men The only ones left All pillars of regret Ideology congeals Ideology reveals Fewer closer friends Through blurry, cracking lens [Verse 2] There's a blind spot in my memory That masks an awkward collision with what I wanted to be So I swapped our dog tags now I pretend that I'm free There's a blind spot in my memory I am desperate to be admired There's this desperately selfish demon I've acquired So I run in the mornings but the fucker's not tired I am desperate to be admired 'cause then I'll have [Chorus] Fewer closer friends The conjugated men The only ones left The vessels of regret Ideology congeals Ideology reveals Fewer closer friends Through a blurry, cracking lens [Outro] Then all the men form a line The moment she gives the word All raise their fists to the sky Factions speak louder than herds
