lyrics

Wastelands

A newsfeed delivers me a signed confession,
Burns with rage, unrelenting aggression.
Intellect crippled, a biased exchange,
I fantasize killing you.

Claws at the ceiling
When a heart stops beating at the bottom.

Flashing through the wastelands,
Find us a ticket to Graceland.

Racist, I knew you when we were sixteen,
Before our ideals could collide on the screen.
We’re no longer living in the same sane world.
I feel sorry for your children.

Imagine your life
On the wrong side of this hate machine.
Claws at the ceiling
When a heart stops beating at the bottom.

Flashing through the wastelands,
Find us a ticket to Graceland
Silently shifting, aligned on a path,
Constricting.

Would you believe the truth?
Could you believe the truth?
Would you believe the truth?
(Could you believe?)

Recover and heal from this social affliction.
Swallowing hate is a pointless addiction.

Claws at the ceiling
When a heart stops beating at the bottom.

Flashing through the wastelands,
Find us a ticket to Graceland.
Silently twisting, aligned on a path,
Conflicting.
Sadly said, the world is dead,
And I don’t want to try and get ahead
By myself.
