EVERYONE

 

everyone around
dying for their sound
everyone i meet
falling at my feet

i can feel it closing in the ignorance


every single day
a light begins to fade
everyone i know
should move to higher ground

Everyone I know, everyone I know
should move to higher ground

 

i can feel it
closing in
ignorance is
wearing thin
(ignorance without the bliss)

 

Panic in the streets, panic in the streets
Marching to the beat

Marching to the beat
Everyone around, dying for the sound
They're dying for the sound
For the sound
For the sound

but what if they lied?
what if we miscalculated?
if a bit got lost
does it come off from the top?

where does that leave us?
(who are) dying for your cause?
dying for the art?
or just ticking off the clock?

 

i can feel it
closing in
ignorance is
wearing thin
(ignorance without the bliss)

everyone around

this one didn't start out as it is now. it was much less of an entity. i showed it to my old bfgf writing partner and he spent some time with it. i went for coffee. then for breakfast. then for lunch. and finally, for dinner. when i returned, a look of frustration had left his face.

"its much better now. i fixed it"

he added and subtracted, added and subtracted. he sang some too. wow. what a makeover. or makeunder. or makedown. or makeout.

 

what's left for us? where are our scraps? what's our chance of winning?

1 in 10? 1 in 100? 1 in 1,000,000?
