lyrics

You come crashing through the membrane
and the light hits
and sounds explode in
a giant cacophony of chaos and miasma.

Passed around like a fat joint you're equal parts glory and gore.
Decisions are made, paths are chosen and no one bothers to consult you.

I'm sure you think it's your call
It probably feels like it is
But it's never been your call
You get but don't get to give

You go crashing through the doorway trying to chase some imaginary ring
and you don't really feel like it but the die was cast
the moment you decided to keep breathing
and now you actively wish away the hours of your existence
till you get to the ones that are truly yours

I'm sure you think it's your call
It probably feels like it is
But it's never been your call
You get but don't get to give

You go crashing towards the floor in an unceremonious heap. You had the audacity to assume control
of the tissue you've lived in since day one
but even that small comfort has been removed
and now everything you've learned is gone
