lyrics

Prescribe the constellation 
There is no science to it 
Yet you find it so easy to swallow
A quick archetype and a broad definition
These foundations
Lie within us all

You’ve been drifting around
So aimless, so aimless
Living without control
Your kind are so provincial 

I’ve seen you all bow before the sun
A march of slugs into an open beer

You’ve been drifting around
so aimless, so aimless
Living without control
Your kind are so provincial
The only thing in your way
(Cataract lens)
Is your faith

So pay attention
Watch us open up the sky
We peel back the layers
And show you the insides
Don't close your eyes now

Bugs trapped in the amber of each moment
I am the messenger
(Say it now)
We can’t go on like this
Excuses are your weakness
Your failures are your own
(Say it now)
We die alone

Pay attention
Watch us open up the sky
So pay attention
Watch us open up the sky
We peel back the layers
And show you the insides
Don't close your eyes now
We are all the fool

Where you and I met
There’s no alignment
Mass is all there is
Bending the space in between

And that space is yours
You dictate it’s worth
Stop kidding yourself
And let go of the curse

Pay attention
Watch us open up the sky
We peel back the layers
And show you the insides
Don't close your eyes now
