lyrics

This feverish temperament was
a crimson flag to the day.
Just one more test aimed to frustrate,
catch attention but waste your time.

So with measured steps and withheld breaths
we’ve waded through our worst crimes.
Here in a godforsaken land
dodging all suspicion and blame.

Reflect on sins
as we take…

Ten paces forward,
Turn and aim.
Face what we’ve come to -
Feels like a game
with no resets and no pause.

The best plans get tangled in knots
When fingers fumble at cords.
But by climbing heights and punching down
y’know, he always had the last word.

The stop sign said ‘YIELD’
but still we all spilled
into fields filled with
driverless vehicles.
And we breathe…
