Espionage Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The chances seem so slim
That we'll ever get out of this trench alive
With fingers that feel so cut and dried
Resigning to the fact and force and back and forth
And back with corresponding social espionage
Zealotry without a cause
In plain view behind your back
[Chorus]
Falling out
(Of favor with the people)
We are bound
(To an anchor in a dead sea)
Shreds of doubt
(Mirroring the Borealis)
Sinking all the way down
Falling out
(Of favor with the people)
We are bound
(To an anchor in a dead sea)
Shreds of doubt
(Mirroring the Borealis)
Sinking all the way down
[Verse 2]
Unquestionable quality
It's an unconditional guarantee
The supplying of the billion-dollar funeral industry
Just let it go for now
So we can get some sleep tonight
When pains of unknown origin
Grow like a rotten flower
[Bridge]
Change is everything
Changes everything
Changing everything
(But it's nowhere to be found)
[Chorus]
Falling out
(Of favor with the people)
We are bound
(To an anchor in a dead sea)
Shreds of doubt
(Mirroring the Borealis)
Sinking all the way down
Falling out
(Of favor with the people)
We are bound
(To an anchor in a dead sea)
Shreds of doubt
(Mirroring the Borealis)
Sinking all the way down
[Bridge]
Change is everything
Changes everything
Changing everything
Change is everything
Changes everything
Changing everything
Change is everything
Changes everything
Changing everything
Change is everything
Changes everything
Changing everything
[Chorus]
Falling out
(Of favor with the people)
We are bound
(To an anchor in a dead sea)
Shreds of doubt
(Mirroring the Borealis)
Sinking all the way down
Falling out
(Of favor with the people)
We are bound
(To an anchor in a dead sea)
Shreds of doubt
(Mirroring the Borealis)
Sinking all the way down
[Outro]
Falling out
(Of favor with the people)
We are bound
(To an anchor in a dead sea)
Shreds of doubt
(Mirroring the Borealis)
Sinking all the way down
