lyrics

Born to run with a heedless sense of motion
Splitting hairs like the splitting of an ocean
Another hour n it'll all be gone
Greyed out skies just to string you along
I am the dust that I will likely choke on

My feet are lead and my ears are filled with concrete
I'll bite my tongue and move out to the country
I'll beg the question and you'll bend the truth
You're moving on up now but whats the use?
Whats next depends on where you're looking

Fall into a state of abstract acceptance,
Of things you know you cannot change,
We're left with platitudes of love and devotion,
And world that's sold to us through shame

Stuck between decision and deflection
Your eyes are cold and there's no sense of direction
Another prophet, another arrogant death
She just got off the phone and there's nothing left
Keep on turning to the things you think you know best

Fall into a state of abstract acceptance,
Of things you know you cannot change,
We're left with platitudes of love and devotion,
And world that's sold to us through shame.
Fall into a world thats void of all context,
A vacuum, a place stuck in between
You're left with another disappointing vacation,
And a receding view of beach front property.

Death and regeneration
Are born inside the home
Do you forgive poor Judas
Who lives inside your bones?
Another summer full of ash,
Another silly song,
The circular progression,
Of everything gone wrong.
