Doing The Wrong Thing

5:05Crowds of lines and floating signs Mask the rhythm of the riot The scene is clear, split in two Electrified and powder blue Electrified and powder blue Crushing glass and burning grass Pinning eyes in crimson walls A slow decline, an endless dusk And the curtain starts to fall And the curtain starts to fall Fraying nerves A patient's curse It's getting worse It's getting worse There's me standing in the riot We're singing in the lanes, we're overtired It feels new to me, it's all history There's me standing in the riot Silent towns afloat on storms With the colours slowly draining Drifting waves of smoke and flame Disappearing in the rain Disappearing in the rain I see us there, dressed in black Stand in water, shed in anger Standing tall, it covers us In a blur that bends the light In a blur that bends the light Fraying nerves A patient's curse It's getting worse It's getting worse There's me standing in the riot We're singing in the lanes, we're overtired It feels new to me, it's all history There's me standing in the riot There's me standing in the riot We're singing in the lanes, we're overtired It feels new to me, it's all history There's me standing in the riot
