Just like that a ghost withdrew

Tell us the story again

About how this isn't atrophy of caring

Well because every tent under the highway

Is austere and unimaginable

Is there virtue left

I know well show me

What should we take with us

My voice is so raw

Because i had it all wrong

Sick from the transit again

The century grinds on

But I am all worn out

Do you see your reflection in this cautionary tale

While every dire thought just keeps pouring out now

This is all you ever wanted

To watch it collapse as the century grinds on

What should we take with us

My voice is so raw

Because i had it all wrong

Sick from the transit again

The century grinds on

But I am all worn out

Do you see your reflection in this cautionary tale

While every dire thought just keeps pouring out now

Do you recognize

This mortal coil

In the country homes

Down the back roads

See our death

As gradual as glaciers

In their faces tracing

Panic of an ordered life

What if we wanted more

Not waking up to the taste of bad news again

I dare not ever ask though

I bawl at the splintered sunlight alone

Not everyone i know

Is poisoned by the fear of the unknown

What have we started

What are you looking for

I’m looking forward to some kind of ending right now

What do we know

You will fade just like everyone else

What if we wanted more

Are you happy with the life that you chose
