Preoccupations

Lyrics

Decompose

Blind, spinning and out of phase
Rioting in rolling waves
Your eyes are the middle of hurricanes
And I'll follow you all the way down

So quick to discriminate
Deprived transient renegades
Spiraling and disengaged
No one's willing to compensate

Wide-eyed
This is where we decompose
Through rivers of radiation
For better or worse we are cursed
In the ways that we tend to be

Hopefully your legacy
Is worth more than you'll ever be
We must comply with the daily tides
Zeros and ones disguised

Wide-eyed
This is where we decompose
Through rivers of radiation
For better or worse we are cursed
In the ways that we tend to be

Wide-eyed
This is where we decompose
Through rivers of radiation
For better or worse we are cursed
In the ways that we tend to be
