Lyrics[edit | edit source]
Plain honesty
At the bottom
Of what appears to be
Unseen
The loudspeakers hiss
The excerpts theorize
That ignorance is still bliss
Blame it on the new equations
Blame it on the old frustrations
Maybe it's the blue abrasions
Desperate for a new sedation
Their empathetic view was lost
And in its place were broken locks
Shouldering the blame they'd seen
Tightrope situation
Helpless are the helping hands
All the isolation theories
Aim to understand
Tightrope situation
Helpless are the helping hands
All the isolation theories
Claim to understand
From symmetry to imbalance
And all points between unseen
One day gravity
Dies and leaves us all to figure
How we'll live in slow velocity
Their empathetic view was lost
And it its place were broken locks
Shouldering the blame they'd seen
The measures taken of nothing
Tightrope situation
Helpless are the helping hands
All the isolation theories
Aim to understand
Tightrope situation
Helpless are the helping hands
All the isolation theories
Claim to understand
