J. Marinelli - Mistake by the Lake (Demo) Lyrics

With lungs of lake-silt on that Bland Traverse Shore
We heap praise on anything we can ignore
And fade it to the background like no much pink noise
Drowned by the chiming cash register's voice

And was this not the mythic monolith
We thought we'd destroyed
That noble, naive notion just won't take
For pity's sake
The mistake by the lake

We celebrate all that is safe and mundane
The fashions may differ, the function's the same
No burning ambition to see past this scene
All keen sets of ears with no thoughts in between

And to our great embarrassment
We thought we'd be the change
That noble, naive notion just won't take
For pity's sake
The mistake by the lake
