Lyrics

[00:48.20] I danced a tango with my hubris high on youth
[00:55.45] We swept across the dance floor to subjective truth
[01:03.42] But there was no harmony there
[01:06.96] No reason for coexistence
[01:10.76] Nothing to span the distance, now
[01:14.81]
[01:17.10] Do we even know who we are
[01:20.77] Living like all life is forfeit
[01:24.42] Like we can just go redefine it
[01:28.04] Regardless what we broke
[01:31.69] Who died and made us stars
[01:34.97] With our intellectual gambits
[01:38.94] Our millionaire flair and our antics
[01:42.15] We're like mirrors seen through smoke
[01:47.60]
[02:01.55] I tried a shanty with the fool to find my pace
[02:08.44] Anything from puns to jests to intertwine our ways
[02:16.05] But there was no loyalty to hope
[02:20.13] And funny the need for mercy
[02:23.41] How it makes us bleed all mercy, now
[02:27.78]
[02:30.47] Do we even know who we are
[02:33.83] Living like all life is forfeit
[02:37.30] Like we can just go redefine it
[02:41.30] Regardless what we broke
[02:44.88] Who died and made us stars
[02:48.00] With our intellectual gambits
[02:51.97] Our millionaire flair and our antics
[02:55.30] We're like mirrors seen through smoke
[03:01.01]
[03:35.80] Now the melody's void of sympathy cos that shit's in byte size bits on YouTube
[03:43.55] So tell me what am I supposed to do
[03:50.66] When the malady's no remedy
[03:53.88] Till we reach the lowest absolute
[03:57.94] And necessity will finally force something through what's walling you
[04:08.51]
[04:19.92] Do we even know who we are
[04:23.83] Living like all life is forfeit
[04:27.54] Like we can just go redefine it
[04:31.19] Regardless what we broke
[04:35.56] Who died and made us stars
[04:38.35] With our intellectual gambits
[04:42.18] Our millionaire flair and our antics
[04:45.46] We're like mirrors seen through smoke
