lyrics

I stood listening to the silence. The kind that stands its ground.
The landscapist's lament. Loose leaves a silent sound.
White noise. Dead air. Suburban despair.
A wasteland, appears. The Savior's cross is bare.

So let the days be aimless. So let the seasons drift.
Empty living east of Eden. Odds and evens ‘round our wrists.
So let the days be aimless. So let the seasons drift.
See the sun it also rises, and the iceberg's mostly missed.

Flower girls laying down silver pedals.
Solemn soldiers laid out in brass medals.
We're trading tongues now like the Phoenicians.
Bartering blind faith in the age of reason.

SO THIS IS IT! Middle aged now and thinning.
Whatever this is, well it sure isn't winning.
I've added all of the appropriate buzz words.
But darling I know that something's gone missing.

It's gone MISSING!!

We selected a circuitous path. The one with the most resistance.
The empire we built was anything but instant.
Our death was categorized as a suspicious omission.
Leftovers and remainders, casualties of long division.
