Dress to scrape another day, holding onto obsolete forms
Show how materials arrange, mark out what you see wrong
Cool and cynical today, make a joke try to be warm
The promises remain the same, stay the script and you can be strong
Work so I can fly away, take a break I guess I’ll roll on
Bought a wedding gift today, controlled mirages staying foregone
Check the prices on the way, the future stays obedient
Roll home order takeaway, out before the evening sun
Guess I’ll strike out of these binds
Where I see diverging lines
Because the seas are going to rise
Nevermind the warming skies
Weeds are overgrown
Fill forgotten catacombs
Stride towards the border zone
Giving life to vacant homes

I’m responsible
Stacking fences high, shut out the warming sky
Protect lifestyle
Flickering box of light, narrowing line of sight
We’re citizens
Turn away from the world, settle in with your girl
We’re venerants
Get your foot in the door, save a little more
It’s hard, compromise
Smattering of the war, budgets are a chore
They’re responsible
Fixing up your lines, scrape clean all your crimes
Can I express my doubt?
That you’ve uncovered the truth we block out
Lost the distance of time
Watch the future fade slowly out of our sight
Don’t need to pay our lives
For a tiny box that’ll keep us in line
Capturing and packaging signs
The happy state the market decides
While all our greatest minds
Are shut away refining useless designs

There's been no self-sabotage for a while
Tie the laces of your wooden shoes
There's been no self sabotage for a while
(So go and) tie the laces of your wooden shoes

Lines
Locked away inside a metal box, coloured dots change
Sipping coffee as you sigh, scattered between the stationary white confines
Sides
Clicking like on a captioned square, force a laugh
Shouting facts from a transient stage, bathed in artificial light
Swathes of people disgraced, shame turns to rage
I’ll pay the mortgage, try the new cafe
How do we justify living out our responsible lives
Steering discourse towards the median house price
Can’t swallow it now
Living in the cloud
Seal it up and walk out

A thousand worlds survive
Breathing surprise
You’d swallow no one’s lies
Or scripts for your life
Set out across grey seas
Stroll among the leaves
Make tracks over those screens
Wandering through leaves
Stand outside the door
Speaking to all
Cross-legged on the floor
There’s always more
Set out across grey seas
Stroll among the leaves
Make tracks over those screens
Wandering through leaves
Watch out for stray sheep
Wandering not lost
Walk out past borrowed dreams
All of us are pleased
