Modern Tense Lyrics

A star crossed fate I've stumbled on

It's calling me to be the only one

I feel it inside, the ice is thin

The walls are turning and caving in

A minute feels like a lifetime inside the void

Of loneliness that stays untold

The times are changing in our new age

Fear and hatred keep us in our cage

We're staring at our screens once more

I wish real life it wasn't such a bore

What have we come to now

Imagination is dead, and all these people are stuck in bed

When I'm sitting by the sunset and the sea

Under the gun

I can't believe the things I hear and see

Shadows creep in broad daylight

Murders, thieves and endless fights

Limits don't seem to exist these days

For all the cruelty of mankind's ways

A minute is like a lifetime waiting for the day

When all these worries shut up and go away
