A violent wave begins, hold vigils to the past
Routine to check your heartbeat proves you're vitally intact
The violent state entrenched, it's in our bloodstreams now
Give me something strong to get it out
Well now you've lost me trying to ride it out
Burning on hot seats scorched by some empty vows
And now we're drawing from the same tainted well
Smiling wide while consuming our ills
Well now you've lost me trying to ride it out
Burning on hot seats scorched by some empty vows
And now we're drawing from the same tainted well
Smiling wide while consuming our ills
While consuming our ills
Were all the signs mistaken?
Or were we for reading them?
I know the way it all sounds
From idolized to dressed down
I know the way it all sounds
It's deafening, the doubt
Well now you've lost me trying to ride it out
Burning on hot seats scorched by some empty vows
And now we're drawing from the same tainted well
Smiling wide while consuming our ills
Redefined what's glorious
Watch the luster all but fade
Redefined what's glorious
Watch the luster all but fade
Greatness was meant to fall
Holding tight in vain
I know the way it all sounds
Compromised and dressed down
I know the way it all sounds
