Socratesone - Circling the Drain Lyrics

Faces down, attention drowned
This pretense for sentience is defenseless
And reality is relentless
Hate the messenger all you want, but I didn't invent this
Existential dilemma
Sending mixed messages again and again
Till it's too tough to tell the difference between enemies and friends
Family and abusers
It's useless, we're loosing the tools to do this
And a facade of democracy
A boot on top of me
And cops stopping me
And threatening to f*cking drop me
Poppin off warning shots through the darkness
A heartless beast with blood on his teeth
And a piece of paper underneath his collar of law
Demanding a dollar and a dance
And a chance to show off all his fancy answers
A cancer that can't be killed
I see the world
I see the world circling the drain
And the fate of nation states waiting to waste away
In a word forever changing
Temporary temptations taken to mask the pain
What a waste of a perfectly good civilization
Blissful idiots sitting on the trigger
Never figuring it out
Beautifully twisted resistance hidden in cities in the distance
Mythical histories and fists full of hits and misses
Criminals dressed in suits and ties and little white lies
While millions are wishing to rise
But their eyes missing the vision
And nobody decides to try and finish the mission
So kiss it all goodbye
We waited till it was a little too late to put the breaks on these mistakes
And make a decision
But it was fun
We had a good run
Solving problems out the barrel of a gun
Sitting, staring at the screen, thinking we were clean
While we were sacrificing someone else's son
The next generation, afraid of a little frustration
An barricading their brains with safe spaces
To escape from some simple situations
Oh, I see the world circling the drain
And the fate of nation states waiting to waste away
In a word forever changing
Temporary temptations taken to mask the pain
What a waste of a perfectly good civilization
I see the world circling the drain
And the fate of nation states waiting to waste away
In a word forever changing
Temporary temptations taken to mask the pain
What a waste of a perfectly good civilization
I see the world circling the drain
What a waste of a perfectly good civilization
I see the world circling the drain
What a waste of a perfectly good civilization
I see the world circling the drain
What a waste of a perfectly good civilization
I see the world circling the drain
What a waste of a perfectly good civilization
