lyrics

walking through the wreckage and taking what we can
cannot say a better way or claim we have a plan
possessions give purpose and goods to redeem
the foolish and dead can dream

years beneath the surface we dreamed of better days
all the while the world dissolved and nothing we survey
now has any meaning beyond the things we need
the drive of our life is greed


we we are never wrong
and this world is here to satisfy our needs
all that we know is the same and nothing changes
so we travel onward wherever it leads


who'd imagine bluebirds and the songs they'd sing
or believe in love and hope or other useless things
we're aware of scorpions and other things that sting
the strongest are always king

who could get there first will be the one who takes the prize
second helpings are a myth like different colored eyes
all the same and all alone and marching over sand
this is not a changing land

we have heard the stories of life begun anew
but see no signs of life in anything we do
we would come to reap the wealth from life underground
but people have not been found

travelling at night because the daylight hurts to see
cold and slow and constant is the cure for misery
then beneath the moonlight a stranger walked right through
and now we are watching you
