Lyrics for We Neither Rise Nor Fall
Our privilege has gone unchecked A hubris of affectation So play the part, fill the role Unquestioning, we stagnate Rebuilding The walls that we tore down A mantra of emptiness Alienation & selfishness So dumb-down, hollow out So dumbed down & stripped of heart Smokescreens Our privilege: apathy Complicit and sedated Isn't this more than just noise? Tantrums and ego and shock But: is this entertainment or a community? An escape or an excuse? Reason or reaction Inciting or just in step? This is entirely what we make of it What we build & destroy There is no shock left In a posture of faux-unpredictability It's tame, sedate Boring
