By the time we've done it,
By the time we'd seen it through
We all wonder if this was all worth it.
Or were we maybe just wasted,
Invasive injection in the absence of light,
With no switch no bulb no heeding or no guiding knight.
Oh why don't we file this under victory,
Chop shop, sell it for pieces,
I know, we can pretend it's worth more together than broken
And we don't let up and or let it go,
We don't get out of bed for others.
I don't get this and I just never will,
I just never will.
Just one path, there's only this one road.
Bothered by pride, problems in the code.
When we wake up, we'll forget what we did on the road.
What do you know,
The car drives just fine without the radio.
Either we fix this or we don't.
Bring out the bounty, we've fallen into the same ditch too many times and we've run out of gas,
So it's time the car was sold.
The metaphor's gone stale now, we'll get a new one.
The sun, it burns through my sunglasses,
Retinas, suffering consequence,
Useless, I throw them into the dirt
While piloting toward the sun.
Berate catacombs,
Beating a dead horse until it takes us to our unspecified goal,
Little did we know it was on it's own path.
In our minds we devise meaning and the soul.
Constructing everyday
Until, we shut down, close the blinds, set it all on fire.
When we got up out of bed that morning,
We kept adding bricks to the wall that we built all our lives.
Shutting it down, closing the blinds, setting it up, setting it all on fire.
In the end we go in, and we don't come out.
We climb.
Wake up, I was told we would wake up, we'll pick up,
We'll get up, we'll get up in this other world.
We're going to wake up, yeah we're going to wake up,
We've gotta wake up, we have to wake up,
Or we'll keep climbing these walls that we've built all our lives.
Step down, you've gotta recalibrate yourself.
Skip town, there's nothing left for you here
But a letdown, the great letdown.
You heard it in your head,
Shut down, a great letdown.
It's not what they once said.
