It's still going
The fires are reflecting off the oceans
Burning the beachheads
Turning grains into glass shards
Showering the homes in embers and pieces

What it means?
I'll never really know
Only thing that is apparent is I have no real control
And I still attempt to never be unkind
Glory in a double negative
When I can find the time, yeah

Such a big fall
Burned off like a blank seed
You're contained, but you retain these hollowed out souls
Tonal with our blast beats
Reject the hive mine and you've befriended me

What it means?
I'll never really know
Only thing that is apparent is I have no real control
And I wouldn't care to fall this far behind
If I only knew I had a choice of how it was defined, yeah

Every chance you take makes it feel like a little more is giving way
A sea of pain and grief surrounds us and no one can stand clear
Everybody's going to end up here
We try to sleep
Our thoughts are calloused
Ground against our fears
We pound our heads
Our hands around our ears

Ripping heads off of landmarks
Logos over inked hearts
Revoking visas
It's amazing, the mindset
Knowing being forthright is bad for your business

I'd be the first one to believe that I judge from the heart over what's right before me
It's such a knee-jerk dangerous reaction to reject yourself
Deny your evolution

I can see them burning now
Charring faces
Melting hard

Can't forget about it and why should we?
Just stay awake and never sleep
Just stay numb around it
Atrophied, just cause you're hurt don't make you bleed

Such a futile gauge
There's no temp fix for now

All at once
You feel so far away
Further every day
Don't know what I see from here
You may never know
