Civil Isolation

Said the sceptic

Born and bred negative

No peace for the calm collective

There’s a cold war coming in

1, 2, 3 Go

Please let me know when it’s gone

It’s really not the best of times

And all we’ve got is guided by this light within

I’ll hold us both until the smoke clears

We’re suffocating

Sick of our society

Sick of trying to fit inside a life I cannot lead

Sick of always following

Sick of trying to be another cog in their machine

Sick of running on empty, pushing the blame

Waiting for tomorrow to save us from today

There’s no profit in poverty

And I’m running on empty

I’m running on empty

Running myself into the ground

Said the sceptic

Born and bred negative

No peace for the calm collective

There’s a cold war coming in

Go

I feel the need

It’s a darkness disease

In this dead town, lights out

The creatures come out in the streets

My ears are burning

In this circle of eyes

Close the curtain and hide the knife

We’re stacking up

We’re piling high

We’ve gone too far to recognise salvation

This is civil isolation

The bitter truth of the world is fucking sickening

Tear my eyes on your barbed wire facade

Divides of colour and small talk

Medicate for patience

Dig up the graves of our saviours

Civil isolation

It’s all gone right to my head

Wondering why we’re not all dead

It’s safe to say I’m not alone in this

There’s something deep within we miss

There’s a line in the sand that we won’t look past

A cure for the pain but it’s out of our grasp

If all we love will leave us asking

Why do we deserve disaster?

Let me know

Please let me know when it’s gone

It’s really not the best of times

And all we’ve got is guided by this light within

I’ll hold us both until the smoke clears

We’re suffocating

Sick of our society

Sick of trying to fit inside a life I cannot lead

Sick of always following

Sick of trying to be another cog in their machine

Sick of running on empty, pushing the blame

Waiting for tomorrow to save us from today

There’s no profit in poverty

And I’m running on empty

I’m running on empty

Running myself into the ground
