lyrics

well i thought i was called to be brighter than the ones who laid the path for me
well i thought i was s’posed to be graceful and smile through a kick in the teeth
and the penance we paid by surviving each day would ensure that the world would proceed
and the progress would solve all our problems so we’d never again have to bleed

i was told it would hold up in daylight and not crumble to dust at our feet
with all promises dead in the rear view and the shaking hands cast off to sea
and we bled ourselves dry with the cleavers provided by smiles showing sharp and white teeth
as the temperature clambered to head height, there was never a plan we could keep

the time for regret is supplanted by the rage to demand our release

we are starting to choke in a cloud of terror
we’ll be snuffed out by smoke when the world’s over
we are starting to choke in a cloud of terror
we’ll be snuffed out by smoke when the world’s done
is there any way to move against the groove?
the spiral

when the world thinks you’re only a body, there’s no room in your mind left for peace
