Common Existence

You can't undo the needle's damage You can't unwalk a line once it's been crossed This is why we sing such common songs We live in a common age Filled with all the common rage Call out, collapsing, the shadows all fall Send out receivers to shut it off I never feel a thing You won't feel a thing I never feel a thing I feel it getting away from me now This is common existence This is common existence The best laid plans turn into tragedies The best of friends make for the worst enemies This is why we lead such common lives We live in the common days Held to all the common ways Call out, collapsing, the shadows all fall Send out receivers to shut it off I never feel a thing You won't feel a thing I never feel a thing This is common existence Everywhere you look, another fire is going dark Another face is busted apart No more existing This is common existence Like a paper scrap blowing down the street It used to have meaning Now it's incomplete And the important parts get lost in the ink on the page This is common existence Everyone you know has been trying on the damage Blowing out the candles Thinking of a common escape from common existence Call out, collapsing, the shadows all fall Send out receivers to shut it off I never feel a thing You won't feel a thing I never feel a thing I feel it getting away from me now This is common existence This is common existence Don't move, don't move, don't move
