lyrics

Stranded here with all this expanse
Vacated the landscape
In the meantime, time treated you kind
Well isn’t that just great?
The pendulum swings on gravity’s strings
There’s no shaking it off
Whether it’s screens or old magazines
The truth is everyone’s chained

You’re still in your prime
Despite the mental decline
It’s easier to describe while
Acquainted with the unknown

Wearing glasses you spray-painted black
Avoiding eye contact
As you crawl out from your selfish heap
You’ll need a change of plans
Because nothing will be as serene
When you’re not under attack
A walking symptom of the daily disease
La la la la la la

You’re still in your prime
Despite the mental decline
It’s easier to describe while
Acquainted with the unknown

When you’re facing the world at large
Just turn the other way
If you expect any different
Still they'll treat you the same
