Lyrics

Lock the doors and kiss the wife goodnight
Pull those sheets up tight
Every time you look around
It's the same sight sideways, up and down
Accumulating evidence for the fall
It takes a criminal
To forge a foggy lense on every spectator

Caught in quicksand, seems you've stepped too far
You're breathing backwards
And sucking up the ashes of a world
That's burned a hundred times over
The core component composed of culture, carbon, capital

Evolve

Sound asleep and dreaming of a god
To forgive you for what you've done
Washed your hands of the common man
And ground all mountains into sand
Power, hunger, pull us under
Can't step aside, we're here for the long run

Evolve

In a stochastic event, let's all repent
And see what good that does
Not much, we're too out of touch
With the scene surrounding us
To adapt is to progress
And true progress... well, what is that?

Evolve
