Take me by the hand,
I’ll show you all you’ve got,
Is hanging by a thread,
and was never worth a shot,
Inheriting the debt,
well that is yours to keep,
if you stand to be defeated.
. . .
In the end, the sun will lead you home,
If the arc of the horizon is to show,
Understand the balance in your hands,
If the arc of the horizon is to show,
. . .
So take a step outside,
Try to map the stars,
we took this sky for granted,
then we saw it fall apart,
but this began a long, long time ago,
and we know, and we know, and we know
That the Interest tend to lye,
In the pockets of the few,
If there’s one thing they should do,
It’s take a long hard look,
Take a long hard look,
before they’re leaving,
. . .
Stowing away, all hope of resolution
Is washing away, it’s time to sink together
