The Sinking, Pt. 1

Traveling through this turmoil
We must seek to common ground
Despite all our differences
Our pathways must align
But how can all this urgency
Somehow be combined
With the growing apathy and tribalism found
No way out
There's no way out now

So we just watch her cry
Watch the tears roll down her cheeks and with the blood combine
Sheʼs breaking down

Screaming sorrow seems somehow
As silence be perceived
There is no field of vision
Just a vicious feel of greed
The clock is ticking faster now
The cogwheels have gone wild
Devastation countdown
For every woman, man and child
No way out
There's no way out now

Still we just watch her cry
Watch the tears roll down her cheeks and with the blood combine
Our concubine

We pluck the wings off a butterfly
Stand back and watch as it tries to fly

Form in haphazard fashion
Every single time
To scared to look for new ideas
Scared of what weʼll find
But thereʼs no hiding anymore
This time weʼll have to settle up the score
You canʼt ignore the rain when itʼs pissing through your doors
So go ahead and close your eyes
Your eyelids will
Be peeled apart
Itʼs time
Right
Now

Still we just watch her cry
Watch the tears roll down her cheeks and with the blood combine
Our concubine

We pluck the wings off a butterfly
Stand back and watch as it tries to fly
