lyrics

Ridiculous Nightmare

Opportunist seeking opportunity
Reconstructing images
They wish to be seen
Memory abstract to me conceptually

Why are we placed where we’re placed
Amongst the diamonds or the rough
Rearrange slim to none
It’s a ridiculous nightmare

Not sure who rules who
Not sure how to see it through
Slink through the mist
And who are you
And what have they done to us too

Who holds the key
So to speak
Factually
Who holds the key
So to speak

Why are you placed to where your placed
Amongst the diamonds or the rough
Rearrange slim to none
It’s a ridiculous nightmare

Wound all of the way up
We’re making believe
Our time is free
Essentially expendable
You’re catching a cold
You’re catching your death

Mountains, mole hills
Scraping lines of turmoil brewed
Lasting for millennia
Skewered for the blatant truth
Who holds the key
So to speak

Why are we placed where we’re placed
Amongst the diamonds or the rough
Rearrange slim to none
It’s a ridiculous nightmare

Wound all of the way up
We’re making believe
Our time is free
Essentially expendable
You’re catching a cold
You’re catching your death

Who holds the key
So to speak
