lyrics

There must be something in the air
To make the shapes blur and the colors run
A chemical reaction
That can explain this levitation

There is no will
Behind the wheel
Of this devious machine
Far as I can see
Contingency
Is our only operator
We can reconstruct
This broken life
Bend it back to serve again

You serve yourself
And no one else
Shapes formed as smoke drifts
Vanish, the snow melts
You serve yourself
And no one else

Violence born from our thought
Complicit without doubt
Whether we speak it or not
Tacit or screamed out
Sacrifice and cruelty
Share this cup of memory

You must be smoke in human shape
About to vanish without a trace
Dissolve suspended in the wind
If I were to pull you too close in

Nevertheless
You and I can make the best
Of this future and this past
We are not to blame
For the lives we take in vain
Hope to live another day
We can reconstruct
This broken life
Send it back to serve again

You serve none
Save yourself
Sovereign
Profane
We are briefly not alone
Burn a path to see the bone
And ash
