A scientist, a golden age
Impending finitude of progression made
And the doom of knowing knowing's limits
That they could come any day
A selfish wish, apply a brake
To slow the speed with which we fill up the page
'Cause the closing of the covers colors life in inescapable gray
We have found once the friction is lifted
Inertia becomes our sworn enemy
[Chorus:]
So we fight for life with the limits out of our reach
We implore the sky to unfurl past infinity
So dies safety
'Cause we didn't need it
No, we didn't need it
We just killed what we loved anyway
A picket fence, a quiet street
Another mile from the siren's ringing
Is a polished politician's promise prior to a poll's opening
The losing of identity
Endless acres paved with h***geny
And the parking lots and buildings block the blood
Till it all becomes numbing
We have castrated cost and conviction
Our pallets pallid with separated paint
[Chorus]
'Cause we didn't need it
We didn't need it
We didn't need it
No, we didn't need it
(We didn't need it) 'Cause all we loved we cannot hold for long
(We didn't need it) No, all we loved we cannot hold...
For the waves to collide and then double in size
Are perceived from the pier by four adjusted eyes
That had widened in time in the darkness of night
But the energy augmented soon must subside
It was gone in that moment we tried to hold tight
Was gone in that moment we tried to hold tight
Was gone in that moment
Gone in that moment
Gone in that moment
Gone
Impending finitude of progression made
And the doom of knowing knowing's limits
That they could come any day
A selfish wish, apply a brake
To slow the speed with which we fill up the page
'Cause the closing of the covers colors life in inescapable gray
We have found once the friction is lifted
Inertia becomes our sworn enemy
[Chorus:]
So we fight for life with the limits out of our reach
We implore the sky to unfurl past infinity
So dies safety
'Cause we didn't need it
No, we didn't need it
We just killed what we loved anyway
A picket fence, a quiet street
Another mile from the siren's ringing
Is a polished politician's promise prior to a poll's opening
The losing of identity
Endless acres paved with h***geny
And the parking lots and buildings block the blood
Till it all becomes numbing
We have castrated cost and conviction
Our pallets pallid with separated paint
[Chorus]
'Cause we didn't need it
We didn't need it
We didn't need it
No, we didn't need it
(We didn't need it) 'Cause all we loved we cannot hold for long
(We didn't need it) No, all we loved we cannot hold...
For the waves to collide and then double in size
Are perceived from the pier by four adjusted eyes
That had widened in time in the darkness of night
But the energy augmented soon must subside
It was gone in that moment we tried to hold tight
Was gone in that moment we tried to hold tight
Was gone in that moment
Gone in that moment
Gone in that moment
Gone
