The Lever Lyrics

You - an empty vessel left devoid of meaning

Accelerate these existential feelings

Keep it warm and numb / keep it safe and dumb

I'll stay high forever

Tell me that it's nothing I can walk away from

Tell me that it's something you won't entertain

It won't be easy, taking this all the way but

Tell me now, what's the point of living in this state of shame

Now the tide is just rising faster

Every season brings natural disasters

Flood and scorch the ground / break the levees down

My hand is on the lever

All we own is nothing but the means of our exclusion

Mass-producing ultra profits as we tap in double time

Young interns that self-indenture, flagellated and refined

Clear cut through thickets of ethical sluff / unclick my jaw and glue

Both my eyes shut / rather be kept in the dark left to rust
