[Verse 1]

In magnitudes

So many platitudes

Patting backs and rubbing shoulders

Between the plaster cracks

Frayed and empty

On the heap of forgotten time

[Pre-Chorus]

A tiny tract

A bloody scar

Impart a purpose in the ether

Self-referential

Exaltation

A joke lost on the crowd

[Chorus]

White knuckle

Downward spiral

Just close your eyes

And smile

Swallowed

In the body of a monster

There was never a way

To stop this ride

Barbaric lunacy

Rebranded unity

Our loss

Our gain

Reinterpretation

Justification

Wounds fall on deaf ears

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]

Stoke the engine

That's what we’re told

But don't dare ask

To where we go

The fuel is here

Don't look too close

This is a furnace

Full of burnt hope

Stoke the engine

The aim is clear

Getting there

Not staying here

Don’t draw the windows

You'll be surprised

We're not moving

Just passing time

[Verse 3]

This enterprise

Overwrought demise

Time sold at half the price

Pointless meandering

Fragile pandering

Drained a lake to build a well

[Pre-Chorus]

A tiny tract

A bloody scar

Impart a purpose in the ether

Self-referential

Exaltation

A joke lost on the crowd

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

Divine

Our lives

Divine

We're blind

Divine

Or we're forsaken

Divine

Divine

[Chorus]

White knuckle

Downward spiral

Just close your eyes

And smile

Swallowed

In the body of a monster

There's no way

To stop this ride

Barbaric lunacy

Rebranded unity

Our loss

Our gain

Reinterpretation

Justification

Wounds fall on deaf ears
