Meltdown (Live in Vienna, 1 December 2016)
Now he lie buried in metaphors
And allegory won't let him breathe
Distorting the truth
Suffocates language in spin
Drowning in doublespeak, the lexicon
Reason washed up, out of reach
Devised and contrived
Injected under his skin
Meltdown
Words in meltdown, down
Meltdown
Words in meltdown, down
Down...
When in doubt, better say nothing
Don't speak without a place to begin
When in doubt, don't just say something
Those platitudes start to wear thin
Meltdown
Words in meltdown, down, down
Meltdown
Words in meltdown
Down
Watch it coming down
Bear without a sound
See their kingdom drown under the waves
Watch it coming down
Bear without a sound
See their kingdom drown under the waves
Watch it coming down
Bear without a sound
See their kingdom drown
Under the waves
And allegory won't let him breathe
Distorting the truth
Suffocates language in spin
Drowning in doublespeak, the lexicon
Reason washed up, out of reach
Devised and contrived
Injected under his skin
Meltdown
Words in meltdown, down
Meltdown
Words in meltdown, down
Down...
When in doubt, better say nothing
Don't speak without a place to begin
When in doubt, don't just say something
Those platitudes start to wear thin
Meltdown
Words in meltdown, down, down
Meltdown
Words in meltdown
Down
Watch it coming down
Bear without a sound
See their kingdom drown under the waves
Watch it coming down
Bear without a sound
See their kingdom drown under the waves
Watch it coming down
Bear without a sound
See their kingdom drown
Under the waves
