lyrics
Red lights give the cityscape a bleeding hue
Ominous sky, reminiscent of better times
But there’s something growing beneath the company signs
It’s game and weathered like you
This festering, omnipresent little core
Is working its way through the din of the ignored
Oh my god, why don’t you grow a backbone and fight
Stand up and ignite
Grit your teeth and swing away
Daylight, the graffiti in the city streets
Kindergarten font shades the people like a tree
But there’s something glowing above the marketing lines
It’s rare and able like you
This festering, omnipresent omnipresence
Is working its way through the din of the ignored
Oh my god, why don’t you grow a backbone and fight
Stand up and ignite
Grit your teeth and swing away
Ominous sky, reminiscent of better times
But there’s something growing beneath the company signs
It’s game and weathered like you
This festering, omnipresent little core
Is working its way through the din of the ignored
Oh my god, why don’t you grow a backbone and fight
Stand up and ignite
Grit your teeth and swing away
Daylight, the graffiti in the city streets
Kindergarten font shades the people like a tree
But there’s something glowing above the marketing lines
It’s rare and able like you
This festering, omnipresent omnipresence
Is working its way through the din of the ignored
Oh my god, why don’t you grow a backbone and fight
Stand up and ignite
Grit your teeth and swing away
