Lyrics
The Passives
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.
Left eye spins in circles,
passives line the rail.
They get no satisfaction from the electro-static breaks.
A beat can't cut the passives loose they're afraid what we will say.
No harm is done when you try it then hide.
Parts moving - keep moving.
A cool collected life is a safe move... you heard that.
You're unsure but its clear to us.
Come to terms, you're alone here observing.
Every time you go out you observe.
Walk past collared passives.
Don't look toward their eyes.
It adds to their discomfort, shows there's
Some confidence they miss.
A beat can't cut the passives loose they're afraid what we will say.
No harm is done when you try it then hide.
Parts moving - keep moving.
A collected life is a safe move... you heard that.
You're unsure but its clear to us.
Come to terms, you're alone here observing.
Every time you go out you observe.
