Lyrics
Our Formative Capital
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.
In a world wrought with pattern
All repeating lines
Take a mere reflection as a sign
Catalyst factions, sterile attractions
and conditioned actions feed decline
Cause every city hails and fears the same sound
Hollow walls made to come down
Erase, if you can't keep up you're gonna be replaced
Breed on and build your facade
We're all negotiable pawns
You turn and trade us all out
Don't it drive you into the ground
The pliable faces bent into tortured smiles
with rubber band lips that snap back quick
maintain the steady quiet
So every city hails and fears the same sound
Hollow walls made to come down
Erase, if you can't keep up you're gonna be replaced
Breed on and build your facade
We're all negotiable pawns
You turn and trade us all out
Don't it drive you into the ground
What will generations find when there is nothing left behind
Breed on and build your facade
We're all negotiable pawns
You turn and trade us all out
Don't it drive you into the ground
