lyrics

The stars are out this morning
Blotted shapes amongst a backdrop
An increasing light is dawning
All to be banished by the sun
Swift, strong, a nuisance of society
Independent strokes of genius and insanity
Headstrong, this victim of brutality will never really have a tight grip on their humanity

And I thought I was the only one blind enough to see

Screw letting go of who we are and hope to be
I came too far to consciously give up originality

The strokes of white lightning strike the trees with a vengeance
Cause a chain-like reaction all without modern satisfaction

We don’t have anything left
We don’t have anything left
We left all our burdens behind when the oceans expanded

Manipulating the tide
Manipulating my mind
The signs all point to:
“I don’t really care about you”
And this night will go on
I tell myself this to justify not knowing you
And why are you playing those games?
Find someone who has the time to play
'Cause this game’s over
