lyrics

On a bus under a soft wash of dusk, you inspect your new community. Its dull lines cry out to be vandalized. Its muted tones clean and corruptible. And just when you’ve made peace with your new anonymity, you’re suddenly haemorrhaging almost everything that you believe, as the architecture you despise branches out. It multiplies. It slathers plasters here and there, uniformly unaware, and hey: it isn’t enough, now it comes for you. Your scars itch; your blood audibly aches as you take the same route everyday. And you resist, but your accent starts to twist. Within months, you sound like anyone. Chorus.
