Circadian Syncopation Lyrics

A song about the inescapable guilt felt at night

And how miniscule it is compared to billionaires and war profiteers

All the good intentions that you intended to keep

But the better judgments lapse and the social codes are breached

Bifurcated on display for everyone to see

In the glimpses of yourself the moments just before you sleep

Well well the consequences of my actions

Here to have a chitchat at the bottom of my mattress

A hypnopompic jerk leaking out from the blackness

A paralytic load bearing like atlas

Cram syllables into a fast enough beat

Dance around the point pretend I'm light on my feet

Beat around the bush pretend I'm complete

Hide behind your vocabulary and effete-

Disinterest

No convictions

Till I nap

With the fishes

Subconscious

Recognition

Lights out

Down to business

Gymnasts on my mind

A saviour complex don't bring ya closer to divine

Between your shadow and yourselves an infinitesimal divide

When conniving and care happen to coincide

Nuanced self reflection makes shitty bumper stickers and slogans

Is your faith different from hope

With all the pyrrhic struggles and yet, still beholden

To my norepinephrine and serotonin

No convictions

Till I nap

With the fishes

Subconscious

Recognition

Lights out

Down to business

All the good intentions that you intended to keep

But the better judgments lapse and the social codes are breached

Bifurcated on display for everyone to see

In the glimpses of yourself the moments just before you sleep

Long/life

And you spend it letting millions die

Right/mind

My minor guilt should pale in size

Blind/Side

Helpless to care by own designs

Wrong/time

The blood on your hands never dry

Blight/crime

You'll never fucking realize

How can you sleep
