Feeding the Meter Lyrics by Adam Tell

Collapse / Expand

2020

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
I just need movement
Something's gotta change
So can you feel it now?
As certain as the sun shining through a summer rain
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Time's up
Tick-tock
No more small talk
