lyrics
Union, mutinous union. To press without a proof.
Sin in the halls of communion. A run in the pantyhose of truth.
A car fire on the freeway. No help from silver spoons and suits.
Up and down I’d swear aloud until my face is blue.
It’s as if no one cares who will lose.
There’s a girl with a sign in petition. A man with a gun in his boot.
I’d never dare solve their conditions. Neither our intentions resolute.
Just when we all got our footing, quicksand, the ground starts to move.
And when it cracked up, we packed up, not an ego intact but…
That’s fine when there’s nothing to prove.
And maybe in time, find divine consultation.
And maybe in lines, we’ll wait for cash or food.
The stars may align, pull us up from this quicksand…
Aware of the pitfalls, no longer confused.
Union, dubious union. From elder to delicate youth.
Reformed, manufactured collusion,
Amazon Primordial soup.
A narrative sparks insurrection, our left handed civil solute.
When we stack up what we lack of, it’s too much to keep track of…
It’s fine it was never ours to lose.
