lyrics

Were you the last to know of your failure and
Rise to the war again, it tries to lure us in,
try some more
Against a wall, their defense could overtake us
We can’t exit your door without you there
Here it comes in another place and time
You can go now we’re fine.

What it costs us and oh
This failing modern world, has seen it all
Her one glass comfort is it better not to know
Our foes will fear their end if we’re
alive and well

So come close and clear the air
Impervious on how we keep from being familiar,
But you were familiar once
Agreeably surprised while penny tricks are your warning signs
now go out and find

What it costs and oh
This failing modern world, has seen it all
Her one glass comfort is it better not to know
Our foes will fear their end if we’re
alive and well

I can see it in your face, You want to pull the wool over their old eyes
One lie turns out you turned your ends to a means appears
It’s in your face, go on: You would pull someone’s hand through a maze.

The failing modern world had seen it all
Her one glass comfort is it better not to know
With swaying conscience (called away)
Conceited oh but love,
She’s alive and well.
