lyrics
You tie yourself in knots fighting for your holy tribes yet still
A blue-lit guillotine away
From the social wars you’re waging from an echo-chambered bed
Can we talk over coffee like we could still be friends
I’m no king or prophet but I feel it caving in
I wish we were closer
I wish we were
I wish we were closer
I wish we were
Tell me who to trust
Oh fickle current age: the rift is thickening
The tired ‘have-not’ trench affair
The moral higher ground contested by some puppets on a string
I was grown before I saw it right
Now it’s all I see
I’m no king or prophet but I feel it caving in
I wish we were closer
I wish we were
I wish we were closer
I wish we were
