Lyrics

Wind up the ancient machine
Until you break it
Oh, and for the time of your life
Yeah, you learn to fake it
You got your brand new disease
Yeah, you got your shiny car
Oh, you live your life on your knees
Yeah, they tell you who you are
That's why you know it's true
You know it's true
I've been holding on for a reaction
But it's the same thing every day
Oh, my tiny distractions
They come and take my life away
Oh yeah
And the whispering of the wise
Never entertains a fool
And the art of compromise
Is now the only one they teach in school
But how quickly all our seasons go
How slowly we learn who we are
We trade our lives for baggage
Until the weight of it all buries you under
Wind up the ancient machine
Until you break it
Oh, the fruit must come from the seed
Yeah, but try to fake it
And they sell you brand new disease
Yeah, they sell you shiny car
Oh, you live your life on your knees
Yeah, they tell you who you are
And that's why you know it's true
Yeah, you know it's true
Oh, I've been holding on for a reaction
But it's the same thing every day
Oh, my million distractions
They come and take my life away
Oh yeah
And the whispering of the wise
Never entertains a fool
And the art of compromise
They swirl their swimming pools
How quickly all our seasons go
How slowly we learn who we are
We trade our lives for baggage
Until the weight of it all just breaks your fucking bones
They say that to the grave
Your soul is all you take
So don't make this mistake
Of trading it in for a trinket
Oh, I guess you just gave it up
All this fucking modern life
Now there's just something to be said
For a quitter
