Lyrics

If we won or if we're losing All depends on who you're asking Did this feed on the nonexistent Or omnipresent, ever resting If you figured interactions Human beings, relationships Algorithmic. Symbols and numbers Repeating to the infinite I bet this caught you Slightly bewildered Shifted, splintered my perception of it Sleeping giant Knowledge arcana All that we used to say I can't recall Put out our torches Lay down our billy clubs Let our keyboards gather dust Cherish silence and introspection Fairly new for every single one of us It's interesting, what we were missing It can't be pinned yet, that'll be history Lost all ability to read the scenery Took fixation and the staring down a reservoir we Typically reserve for those less fortunate Where ego turns to ash and heroes rise from it For us to see, stow it away For us to notice the ballet of day turning to Night. S'pose there had to be something Smashed through our heads To remind it how it lies Soil, water, bone and flesh spun through the sky Tear the drywall from this room Expose the rotted beams beneath Turns out the whole thing was near collapsing Just couldn't feel it via 5 inch touchscreen Say, is that literal fire and brimstone? Sensing collective blueballed bloodlust Ditched my status and I ditched my friends list Social sabbatical to gain back self-trust One day we'll look back Say "god, were we that fickle?" The hive went vapid Got itself in a pickle, made the Bad seem better, the good seem miraculous Paused inhibition, turned worriers spontaneous Inspired graciousness and kindness Violent panic in the street May take a lifetime to repair for some And for the rest, a couple weeks The intoxication of our doom The finest lesson and the greatest trick ever been pulled And I, for one, now am certain that some things Don't make sense; aren't worth pulling apart Exist to put you back into the places where you are So when you're out on a Saturday night, you can find a moment's quiet To fade to black, before the crowd pulls you on back As we fade to black now, ever pushing back I pack into the seat of my car With a new openness of the heart Blow on the cartridge Refresh and recharge Or the madness'll blow you apart THE END
