lyrics

I never thought that I would live to see the day
When the rising tide towered over us all
We band together trying to teach one another to float
But we don’t
Meanwhile, as captain of the ship
You’ve been commanding each lowly crewmate
Who approaches you to fall upon the sword
That you’ve polishing for just such a crowd
So be proud

You tour the planet thinking everyone’s a martyr
A failing future built on ruins of a circular past
But disconnecting from everything is harder
When you’re closing all your deals
Using karma that you don’t have

The work you put in to antagonize the blackened
Almost impressive from an overhead view
Fighting the urge to call it in
When the going gets tough, it’s never enough
It’s like a game where you’re controlling all the pieces
But still a tantrum quickly overtakes you
So now dismantling remains the only option you’ve got
Give it a shot

It’s not bragging to say I can’t imagine
All the demons on the brain
As you’re circling your wagons
And you try to lie to yourself just one more time
But it’s never just one more time

As the horizon of our fate draws ever nearer
And all the plans that we concocted
Will have shattered like glass
It might be time to start looking in the mirror
And stop closing all our deals
Using karma that we don’t have
