Lyrics
Regress
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.
We are the gears in this churning machine
The burning steam from the crack in the surface
We are your soul's insomnia
The restless heart of indignation
Forever awake
You're all insane, staring at inevitable change
The selfish few who will stand in the way
But with each orbit you beg the world
To turn at your will (at your will)
To rotate in reverse
You're not a hero
If you're trapped behind a mask
Can't hear them screaming
When your head is in the sand
We're hopeless, we're helpless
We'll wait here for a sign
Or stare into the Sun until we're blind
And out of time
You left each other to drown
In a sea of ill concern
In search of a thorned crown
You were never meant to earn
You'd set the world ablaze to warm your hands on the flames
How did we let it come to this?
We're all to blame; this isn't progress
This is not, this isn't progress
Misled and sick in the head
Playing the victim again
You're not a hero
If you're trapped behind a mask
Can't hear them screaming
When your head is in the sand
(What will it take to make you see?)
We're hopeless, we're helpless
We'll wait here for a sign
Or stare into the Sun until we're blind
And out of time
We are the gears in this churning machine
The burning steam from the crack in the surface (wait here for a sign)
We are your soul's insomnia
(Or stare into the Sun until we're blind)
The restless heart of indignation
