If not today, then when?
If not today, then when?
lyrics
Indistinguished from the start
Reckless with invectives
Too devious to parse
They want to cut and paste
A new, different hate
But without implicit trust
They’ll separate us, one by one
Your sensibilities collapse
Streams of consciousness
Dark as vantablack
Within your outer space
Without a sense of place
As we breach the golden age
Drawn into a fiery haze
That keeps raging, day by day,
It goes on and on and on…
Still, our minds remain transfixed
Open eyed, mesmerized
By a monumental myth
The ground will start to shift
If not today, maybe someday…
From the way it sounds
I'd rather be left out
From the weight, it feels like
I'd rather do without
In a way, it seems
If we leave it up to fate
Then the weight will lift
And we could let it all escape,
Let it all escape
Reckless with invectives
Too devious to parse
They want to cut and paste
A new, different hate
But without implicit trust
They’ll separate us, one by one
Your sensibilities collapse
Streams of consciousness
Dark as vantablack
Within your outer space
Without a sense of place
As we breach the golden age
Drawn into a fiery haze
That keeps raging, day by day,
It goes on and on and on…
Still, our minds remain transfixed
Open eyed, mesmerized
By a monumental myth
The ground will start to shift
If not today, maybe someday…
From the way it sounds
I'd rather be left out
From the weight, it feels like
I'd rather do without
In a way, it seems
If we leave it up to fate
Then the weight will lift
And we could let it all escape,
Let it all escape
