lyrics

i spent my whole life searching
but i could never know for sure
why the waves and the vibrations
always felt like something more

when the moonlight casts a shadow
and we're all in the dark
when the fall guys who surround us
seek payments in the park

please let the horror hit you
when the walls are closing in
at least you're on the good side
when the walls are closing in

i dodged away all meaning
so i would not know for sure
why nursing and construction
were for the dullards and the bores

incentive structures and ticker symbols
it's all just too complex
the great vexations and machinations
of the rich people in tech

please let the horror hit you
when the walls are closing in

at least you're on the good side
when the walls are closing in

i spent my whole life learning
and in years still i'll know more
i had to stay distracted
from the armies on the shore

we have enough to hold us over
they're holding out for more
i had to stay distracted
they're knocking at our door

let the horror hit you
when the walls are closing in
at least you're on the good side
when the walls are closing in
