Escape From Möbius Strip Mall, Pt. 1 Lyrics

I would tell you how we were living over here

If I thought you would listen

Started in the middle of the ending

Suddenly aware of our surroundings

Sick to think of all that was at stake

Everything was spelled out for us clearly

But meaning had long fled the thing completely

And there in the cold wind

We were finally awake

Kneeling to the earth we were listening

With our entire lives our mission was simple

We had to escape

But there was danger in every direction

And the way we were heading

Was in an impossible shape

So it came to pass we were defeated

Time and time again we kept repeating

All of the same sabotage and mistakes

Like in spite of all of our intention

Still we had this sense of no direction

And every day we got further away

In the inside of us still we found a storefront

With a whole host of managers and mall cops

Silently assured that their positions were safe

I will not be left behind

I will make it out alive

But I've been waiting for a long long time

While it's twisted in my mind

I see it with its eye

That I carry with me carried with me

And I'll carry it with me for all my life

So I don't know what I'm supposed to do

If + when we get there nothing even feels good

And I'm like what the fuck was the point anyways

When I think of all the lives and the people

And what is yet to come and all that we gotta do

And the unguided steps that we gotta take

I am afraid
