Lyrics for Down To This

Replaying accidents Deploying precedents Before the trial by fire The evidential weight The lens that can't create The signal stretched on wire Before you know it's Taken hold it's coming down to this again Before we know we're Running scared it's coming down to this again Fragmented symmetry A tarnished history A haunted youth in fear No guiding principle Coded invincible No heaven far from here Before you know it's Taken hold it's coming down to this again Before we know we're Running scared it's coming down to this again All I know is, time will waste us all Time will fade us all from sight In between clouds, spirit moves us on Stretching time across the night
