about

A spare song about society.

lyrics

There's no confession without falsehood, we are victims of conceit and rumor
Flowers of vanity and full of pretension, we've been lashed by the tendrils of madness
Will we walk the line like Johnny Cash did? Or will we simply wait in line?
Creatures of ego unaware of our blindness, we are fooled into living life backwards
 
We blaze contentious throughout the morning, begging the future to protect our kingdoms
Dodging the arrows that burst our delusions, we live on planets of hallucination
Will we walk the line like Johnny Cash did? Or will we simply wait in line?
We assume we've mastered reality, and we think that's air we are breathing
 
Drenched in the sweat of our mutual boredom, we have licensed the death of our spirits
The wind of inanity blows through the ghost town, of our passions and keenest desires
Will we walk the line like Johnny Cash did? Or will we simply wait in line?
Facing down fantasy in the boardroom, we emphasise our mutual envy

Our children will overtake us, they own the future we strive to take for ourselves
The finishing line is a moving target, forever focusing us on our failures
Will we walk the line like Johnny Cash did? Or will we simply wait in line?
Life is a journey without an object, without our courage we really have nothing
