Lyrics

Time is like a serpent that devours its own tail
The coils grow ever tighter with each moment it inhales
A foreboding sense of déjà vu that cannot be ignored
It's hard to help but feel we've seen and done this all before
History be damned, it's only progress we embrace
Our eyes closed to the circles that our memories retrace
Arrogance and avarice distort our field of view
A re-run culture takes your past and sells it back to you
Decades pass and years go by, days dissolve into the ether
Condense like clouds and come raining back down
We are blind to this debris piling up around our feet
Oblivious, and it's killing us
Fear and loathing paralyze the populace throughout
Disengage the rhetoric that brought this all about
Overcome and overrun, pretend all this is new
Surely we'll be hailed as heroes when this all is through
Decades pass and years go by, days dissolve into the ether
Condense like clouds and come raining back down
We are blind to this debris piling up around our feet
Oblivious, and it's killing us
Our memory is short, we throw all caution to the wind
The story's changed so much, we can't recall how it begins
Foresight is an absent friend we left in distant days
Reflection makes us realize the error of our ways
Decades pass and years go by, days dissolve into the ether
Condense like clouds and come raining back down
We are blind to this debris piling up around our feet
Oblivious, and it's killing us
