lyrics

we've come to
replace your clock's
old stubborn hands

(we are the answer to why
they never had a chance)

it was not so long ago
that the world was mostly slow

the age of iron, steam, and speed
turned a stroll to a stampede

but we've come
to increase time
in between ticks

'cuz there's romance
in the slow dances
'cuz they're

fertile in hush
futile in haste
these are your nerves
this is how they taste

well i can't count how many times
i've been outdone by nihilism
joined the march that splits
an open heart into a schism

and i cower at the thought
of other people's expectations
and yet still
hand over mine to them

travel where you are
tourism is sin

these are the ruins left behind
you can't take pictures of them

if what they say is true
then you become what you chew

if it decays spit it out
affectation is a drought

that you wait through
when you hate
everything that you do

you wanna live
outside the groove
then fine

but it's there like a flower
blooming in your ears
open up your mouth
pollinate your peers

nothing reminds
the mind of power
like the cheap odor of plastic

leaking fumes we crave
consume the rush
it feels fantastic

but like power turns to mold
like a junkie going cold
i need a fix

of a little tenderness
