lyrics

Never signed onto it, and never agreed. The path we inherited too cruel to believe. Lifted the canopy, uncovered by uncertainty, saw walls of lies as far and high as my eyes could bear to see. Looked behind, the marching line extended to infinity, and very few looking around, but I found you.. and you found me.

Let's step out of line and set out for the sea. Find ourselves an island and hide in the trees. Our days are passing away right as we speak, and I don't need them to understand if you're there with me.

Let's escape it all. Watch them fade in the fog. I must get away... or disintegrate.

I can't take another day of this. It all feels so meaningless. Like advertising, falsified. A life built upon plastic lies. Our thoughts divided; empathy selective as our memories. Distraction while we fall asleep. Block out the screams under our feet. But I can't seem to look away. I'm burning up more every day. I've run out of tolerance for fools who cheer their own tyrants.

Let's step out of line and set out for the sea. Find ourselves an island and hide in the trees. Our days are passing away right as we speak, and I don't need them to understand if you're there with me.

Let's escape it all. Watch them fade in the fog. I must get away... or disintegrate.
