Grass Before The Scythe

lyrics

Oh I think I’ve gone down the tunnel 
Of hyperfocus
Shiny new seduction 
Gotta do my best to stay sober 
‘cause self-loathing
Gets messy as you get older 

Why is it not possible to free 
Fools from their stories?
Can we stop with all the masking and admit the defeat 
Pay the price for our vanity?

Come to the mountain we will make you safe 

Or you’ll be grass before the scythe, before the scythe

We can watch the world burning from a distance 

You will be grass before the scythe, the scythe

Come to the mountain we will make you safe 

You will be grass before the scythe

We can watch the world burning from a distance 

Something like fetus in fetu 
I was born wired
To be split in two 
But these false positive schizophrenic loops
Create movement 
Are of use

Come to the mountain we will make you safe 

Or you will be grass before the scythe, before the scythe

We can watch the world burning from a distance 

You will be grass before the scythe, the scythe

Come to the mountain we will make you safe 

You will be grass before the scythe

We can watch the world burning from a distance 

You will be grass before the scythe


Come to the mountain we will make you safe 

Or you will be grass before the scythe

The scythe

We can watch the world burning from a distance
