lyrics

Losing Ground

How long have we been here throwing crumbs of bread towards the empty?
Now the trees are crowded, the mocking birds are laughing
See, the joke’s on us…

But none of this, none of this seems to ever touch the ground of reason
Maybe it’s the season…
Maybe all the gods of who knows where conjure against the sky

But I know we had a plan, we wanted to tame the world together,
But now we just complain about the weather,
Or whatever color favors better our denial.

Oh, I can’t believe the leaves are falling down,
Every step we take, it feels we’re losing ground
Oh, the kingdom crumbled, the king has lost his crown.

What’s standing in the way, the way it is,
The way we always turn to the abyss?
Tell me, what’s down there you miss?
Is it the cure for this disease?

For all I know, all I know,
We must put a stop to this nonsense of a show
This shit’s got to go…
‘Cant you see we’re losing ground
