lyrics

Constant Turmoil

When the violence
Comes you strap on
Your headphones to
Block out the chaos
That ensues all
Around you now

It's a messed up
World and we're
Lonely and scared
Lost in the crowd
Of voices being
Their loudest selves


I had a dream
That it all was over
The bickering
And the screams
The incendiary horrors
Don't lose the thread
But it's twisted and coiled
And frayed at the ends
Of our constant
Turmoil

When the desert
Runs dry no
Oasis with water
You fall back on
Your inner self
The provisions stored
There

An unholy
Alliance
A constant
Death spiral
The push and

The pull
A re-setting of
Life's fragile dial

I had a dream
That it all was over
The bickering
And the screams
The incendiary horrors
Don't lose the thread
But it's twisted and coiled
And frayed at the ends
Of our constant
Turmoil

Brisk strolls
Down these dead
End streets
Old shop-keepers
Peddling their wares
Rich tourists with
Unruly kids
Zero patience
And unforgiving
Stares

I had a dream
That it all was over
The bickering
And the screams
The incendiary horrors
Don't lose the thread
But it's twisted and coiled
And frayed at the ends
Of our constant
Turmoil

I had a dream
That it all was over
The bickering
And the screams
The incendiary horrors
Don't lose the thread
But it's twisted and coiled
And frayed at the ends
Of our constant
Turmoil
