Feeding the Meter
Common composure
Is walking on thin ice
And everyone knows why
Under the surface
A market of swindlers
Reselling alibis
What breaks the cycle?
Kindness or exile?
I don't have the answer
Flipping a mindset
Leaves behind bruises
Sometimes the truth hurts
But when the problems
Become pressing
'Calm and collected'
Begins undressing
Our comprehension
Is clearly lacking
How can we find out
If we're not asking?
It's time to put down
The pen on paper
Deal with this right now
Instead of later
Watching a blowout
From the bleachers
We can't afford to keep feeding the meter
Basic assumptions
Get called into question
Trust, but verify
Ration the blood flow
For things not essential
This all can't survive
I don't need progress
Just need movement
Something's gotta change
So, can you feel it now?
As certain as the sun
Shinin' through a summer rain
But when the problems
Become pressing
'Calm and collected'
Begins undressing
Our comprehension
Is clearly lacking
How can we find out
If we're not asking?
It's time to put down
The pen on paper
Deal with it right now
Instead of later
Watching a blowout
From the bleachers
We can't afford to keep feeding the meter
Time's up
Tick-tock
No more
Small talk
Is walking on thin ice
And everyone knows why
Under the surface
A market of swindlers
Reselling alibis
What breaks the cycle?
Kindness or exile?
I don't have the answer
Flipping a mindset
Leaves behind bruises
Sometimes the truth hurts
But when the problems
Become pressing
'Calm and collected'
Begins undressing
Our comprehension
Is clearly lacking
How can we find out
If we're not asking?
It's time to put down
The pen on paper
Deal with this right now
Instead of later
Watching a blowout
From the bleachers
We can't afford to keep feeding the meter
Basic assumptions
Get called into question
Trust, but verify
Ration the blood flow
For things not essential
This all can't survive
I don't need progress
Just need movement
Something's gotta change
So, can you feel it now?
As certain as the sun
Shinin' through a summer rain
But when the problems
Become pressing
'Calm and collected'
Begins undressing
Our comprehension
Is clearly lacking
How can we find out
If we're not asking?
It's time to put down
The pen on paper
Deal with it right now
Instead of later
Watching a blowout
From the bleachers
We can't afford to keep feeding the meter
Time's up
Tick-tock
No more
Small talk
