The Aftermath from Heavy Love by stop.drop.rewind

Your fingers
Get frantic
You’re waxing sycophantic
Sounding alarm bells
And misquoting Orwell
When did your heads get twisted?
Tears shed for every threat to your disbelief
You spoke for all existence
None wept for the death of expertise
I hear you scream

“Last year’s just an artifact
What’s gone and what’s coming back?”
Sift through all the aftermath
What’s gone and what’s coming back?

Truth not built
To last now
Your future’s in the past now
Facilitate friction
Sedition from fiction
When did your heads get twisted?
Amnesia history, till it comes round again
You spoke for all existence
Society is out to sea, best not learn how to swim
As the water starts pouring in
I hear you scream

“Last year’s just an artifact
What’s gone and what’s coming back?”
Sift through all the aftermath
What’s gone and what’s coming back?

Everyone you’ve ever known is dead
They’re just playing alive instead
The answer’s buried in your head somewhere
(But you wont find it)
Everybody loses in the end
We just want to make peace till then
You’re pointing guns right at our heads, it’s fine
Must be in our minds, then

Not built to last
Not coming back

(Never paid the price
never broke the mold
always dumping out your heavy hollow soul

Never break your stride
never crack a smile
always face the world defiant as a child)
