Lyrics
Beguile the Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If I could stay mad enough
Maybe I'd leave
But you gotta understand
This runs twenty-two years deep.
Everyone wants it all.
Everyone needs a place.
You can destroy or you can create.
All I know is all that I know
Ad I know we all just beguile the time.
But it all catches up
And it's all so fucked up.
And only time will tell.
Oh, how it echoes
Oh, when it echoes
Hits like a ton of feathers, when it echoes
Common ground
Can't be found
From atop a hill looking down.
Look around.
C'mon, Take me to sleep.
Put me to weep.
Can't you see that you've given your souls up for keeps?
Oh, how it echoes
Oh, when it echoes
Hits like a ton of feathers, when it echoes
Yeah, it all catches up and it's all so fucked up
Take me to sleep, c'mon, put me to weep
Can't you see that you've given your souls up for keeps?
And only time will tell
We send in poor people
To fight other poor people.
We send in our brothers and sisters and daughters and sons. There is no difference.
We send in to kill while we sit on our asses and watch green screens infotain all day long.
It hits like a ton of feathers.
When it echoes.
