Headlights in my gaze Their reflections dilate And though my ears perk up My body's stuck In a paralytic state Waiting out the days While we try to calculate Just how fucked we are So we can start To disassociate Doing what I can With my finger in a dam While the rest of the world Chips away at The bricks around my hand Feign some sort of pride Over my own little life But what measure are my achievements Against the downfall of mankind Caught in a stalemate of conscience I am futility incarnate In spite of all the commotion I'm still going through the motions Another day spent yelling at a falling sky Everything just feels so crushing all the time And what are we to do When nobody can save us from ourselves We got a lot to lose And I know I'm not The only one who's languishing I see it in your faces at the shows Trying to recapture What made us feel something Pushing off the weight of what we know Our frames weren't meant for this weight We weren't designed to carry So much despair in a day But we can't just sit here and wait We've all got lives to live We've all got bills to pay We're only staving off collapse So far beyond the point of ever turning back So make your peace with what you can't control While the rest of us Keep on burning what we can In times like these Wish that I could curse a name Or had a god to blame In times like these Wish that I could curse a name A god to blame We're not complicit We're not complicit We're just numb But what's the difference When there's still damage being done We're not complicit We're not complicit We're just numb But what's the difference When there's still battles to be won The only thing more futile Than trying to survive Is surrendering to the notion That it's all a waste of time Between entropy and apathy We walk a very fine line So try to watch your step On the march towards midnight Another day spent yelling at a falling sky Everything just feels so crushing all the time But what are we to do When nobody can save us from ourselves We got nothing to lose
