Hiking With Sisyphus Lyrics

Welcome to a modern fiction

In a town called dereliction

Where you give a little more than you can get

They say to not walk the streets at night

And old smoke in new lungs don't make a right

You're told it's best to not forget

Yeah it's the blunt force trauma from the matter-of-fact way that

You speak to me

In a world turned red with a price on your head

At the cost of honesty

It's the way things work and we sure aren't the first

To say it's not how it's meant to be

But we make the deal

That we don't need to feel

Shake hands, and walk away

What a waste of an ambition

Held back by your tradition

How it's always been, is how it has to be

As scared of dying as being alive

Blinded by the light that's in your eyes

We all move home to tragedy

Yeah it's the blunt force trauma from the matter-of-fact way that

You speak to me

In a world turned red with a price on your head

At the cost of honesty

It's the way things work and we sure aren't the first

To say it's not how it's meant to be

But we make the deal

That we don't need to feel

Shake hands, and walk away

Yeah it's the blunt force trauma from the matter-of-fact way that

You speak to me

In a world turned red with a price on your head

At the cost of honesty

It's the way things work and we sure aren't the first

To say it's not how it's meant to be

But we make the deal

That we don't need to feel

Shake hands, and walk away

How it's always been, is how it has to be

We all move home to tragedy
