I don't want to be around to find out Whether not we make it out Tried and true methods folding under heavy doubt Pick apart the systems, forge a new religion Use me an altar, tell me I'm forgiven It's a tough life, walking 'round in clean whites But it's so weird 'cause the colours aren't so bright Skies used to be a pink and purple now they're dull and curdled Fucking running in circles It's a mind game, funny how time sways Feeling so young but I see the lines on my face Think I'm counting down to the end but I don't think I've really contributed The colonel didn't get it right til '39 And then he still fucked up 'cause the animals died I know I'm so outspoken but I know I'm right 'Cause I can talk to birds and they say get out of sight Funny how time sways Funny how time sways I have developed an intolerance to the feeling of relief Predatory scorecards designed to rescind true notions of what's worthy Before the panic-inducing thoughts Swell forth like currents in which I'm caught I remind myself it's not forever, but who am I convincing? Funny how time sways Caught in my emerald state Caught in my emerald state Caught in my emerald state Caught in my emerald state I am a conduit for chaos Disorganised but not for long It's fight or flight which doesn't work for me 'Cause I can't punch for shit and my wings are heavy My wings are heavy I am a conduit for chaos Disorganised but not for long It's fight or flight which doesn't work for me 'Cause I can't punch for shit and my wings are so heavy
