Soon Lyrics

Taking back what has been stolen

Is difficult when you can't match speed

Holding on to the open ocean

Too many moving parts to model it accurately

Who keeps making it seem

Like there's not enough

To go around

A series of tubes

Only ever meant to flicker out

Don't make a sound

And you won't be seen

Watch the surplus being destroyed

To raise the price of basic needs

They had a machine

It was always on

But underwhelmed

Watching us get locked outside of ourselves

Stakes so high

Moments never arriving

The source of the pressure

Wasn't even worth finding

All that persistence

Who keeps putting it there

Is there really a difference between being present

And pretending to be there

Thin-skinned to let the sun in

You can only do the same things so long

Before you wear thin

When there's nothing else to do

Try to catch up with what's chasing you

If the train stops, don't get off too soon

At the base of the mountain

Are the problems mounting

If you refuse to be moved

The flash bleached our likeness into concrete

The myth of the self-made

Was a trick the heat played

Repeating like a giant machine

Making all we need

Into a landfill

Trying not to stare

But I need to see

In all that chaos

Where are we

Branches lighting up

In the shape of a scene

Too many moving parts to model accurately

Even if I can't

I can still make believe

Somewhere in that blind motion

You're still chasing me
