The Final Souvenir (feat Tim Harbour)

from The Idle Universe Has Won by The Sway of Mountains

/

lyrics

The enemy is deep within
Performance of a billion waves
Swallowed smiles sheared skin
How the happy hive behaves
The veil will protect you
From unintentional dismay
Regret imprinted with the hue
Of a shrouded gargled gray

Surprise of vibrating static
A pain we all outgrew
Signals stuttering erratic
In the calm unending queue

This awkwardness we will away
While embracing tomorrow
We can't escape a single day
Of scroll of want of follow

Why would we even care to change
We live like leaking taps
Neatly cubed nicely contained
Clinging to the collapse

The greatest source of doubt
Counts steadily in the wrong direction
Abandoned from within without
Violent means of introspection
Calm comfortable victimhood
Moments for the self to shine
A debt distinctly understood
Children of the copied divine
The grind has never been as grand
To constantly be seen and heard
The perfectly designed

The algorithms all agree
With the incompleteness of your thoughts
What is not yours and cannot be
The gift that can't be bought
The law of things obtained and kept

In the screams of squares we slept buoyant
In unconscious fear collectively brushed aside

Wisdom warped and blurred
Broken rhythms often denied
Desynchronizing
Word for word
