Kafkaesque
Been around the world without leaving my room
Thumbing paperbacks for different points of view
Becoming insects for something to do
It's too Kafkaesque watching the news
Between the pages, between the lines
Cultures change over time and get redefined
Still lighting candles for the folks that I know
Keep writing scandals for the ones that I don't
Still citing sad songs from the radio
When progress comes too slow
Watch the dark horse trot across the screen
See the fortress fall like autumn leaves
A matter of course struck at the scene
What if all our friends jump in the ravine?
Between the bridges and rising tide
Cultures change over time and get redefined
Still lighting candles for the folks that I know
Keep writing scandals more for the ones that I don't
Still citing sad songs from the radio
When progress comes too slow
Write the names singed in flames
Feel the souls reach high
I used to have one before it got burned
But I've never felt so alive
Left my soul, it had to go
Left my soul to chase the unknown
Left my soul: ashes, dust, and coal
But never felt so alive
Still lighting candles for the folks that I know
Keep writing scandals on the ones that I don't
Still citing sad songs from the radio
When progress comes too slow
Thumbing paperbacks for different points of view
Becoming insects for something to do
It's too Kafkaesque watching the news
Between the pages, between the lines
Cultures change over time and get redefined
Still lighting candles for the folks that I know
Keep writing scandals for the ones that I don't
Still citing sad songs from the radio
When progress comes too slow
Watch the dark horse trot across the screen
See the fortress fall like autumn leaves
A matter of course struck at the scene
What if all our friends jump in the ravine?
Between the bridges and rising tide
Cultures change over time and get redefined
Still lighting candles for the folks that I know
Keep writing scandals more for the ones that I don't
Still citing sad songs from the radio
When progress comes too slow
Write the names singed in flames
Feel the souls reach high
I used to have one before it got burned
But I've never felt so alive
Left my soul, it had to go
Left my soul to chase the unknown
Left my soul: ashes, dust, and coal
But never felt so alive
Still lighting candles for the folks that I know
Keep writing scandals on the ones that I don't
Still citing sad songs from the radio
When progress comes too slow
