Lyrics
Sat up in bed
Soaked in dread
And numb from
What we've done
Brought forth the day
Celebrate
Opulence
That numbs you
Shaking the grief
From belief
The status
Won't save you
All that we've won
Was undone
By values
That were bought
Outside of time
Second hand
The peace that
It brings you
The time it takes
To relay
The message
Energy
Sat up in bed
Soaked in dread
And numb from
What we've done
And numb from
What we've done
Time smolders then ignites
A new direction to write
The chorus of choices
Clashes in discordant voice
At the cusp of the unknown
Is where we throw our stones
Time smolders then ignites
A new direction to write
At the cusp of the unknown
Is where we throw our stones
Untethered
Until we
Come together
