about

Maybe the only way to avoid being responsible is to run away from everything?

lyrics

Went and dropped it all
Didn't need much reason to escape;
To track that better way
Headed for the hills
Rode the rails from end to end
And now it's time to disappear
That much is clear
The mote that tipped the scales:
Dawning comprehension of complicity;
Can't be party to this any more

How do you reconcile?
How do you go back?

While they've been screaming, you've been dreaming
Sleeping like a baby in a cot
They've been dreaming, you've been scheming
Drain them dry and wring the final drop
Within your sights there's higher heights
Had it up to here with all the rot
If the rising tide can't be defied
And you're undermined and dissatisfied
Easier to give it up, let the devil take us all

Running far from here
Is the only chance to make things right
Hidden from the fight
Winner takes it all
Winner takes the best of us and slams it right into a wall
So it's not your fault
Cutting out and running loose, no further use,
won't be a target to be found or to be run to ground

How do you reconcile?
What is there we could've done?
There is no way back

Hide behind your crooked smile
There's no need to reconcile
Let the devil take us all

While they've been screaming you've been dreaming
Sleeping like a baby in a cot
While they've been dreaming you've been scheming
Drain them dry and wring the final drop
Within your sights there's higher heights
Had it up to here with all the rot
Why take a stand if they're underhand
And there's a chance to turn your tail and flee?
No resolution but no collusion
Never be the one left on your knees
If this rising tide can't be defied
And you're undermined and dissatisfied
Easier to give it up, let the devil take us all
