Futility Lyrics by Ava Left

Futility / Spectator

2022

[Verse 1]
Futility wanders afraid and alone
And where we have found her no angel could know
Safe as the wind blows
Safe as the sea

[Verse 2]
Futility’s sick of the leitmotif sound
The body celestial beat into the ground
Don’t sate her blowout
Come set her free

[Chorus]
You’re stepping on the sidewalk crack
But it won’t break her cul-de-sac
You wait too long, she won’t come back
From this futility attack
You take her life and make it heard
But you won’t even speak the words
You go too far, she won’t come back
From this futility attack
Ahh

[Verse 3]
Futility whites out the dream that once was
And there in its stead lies the last reach of love
Careful suspension
Careless belief

[Verse 4]
Futility sees what nobody has seen
Her only hope left is the space in between
Dots all connected
And you are the key

[Chorus]
You’re stepping on the sidewalk crack
But it won’t break her cul-de-sac
You wait too long, she won’t come back
From this futility attack
(Closer)
You take her life and make it heard
(Come closer)
But you won’t even speak the words
(Come closer)
You go too far, she won’t come back
(Come close)
From this futility attack
Ahh

[Bridge]
You said it yourself
Through lips of a snake
You got sickness, you got health
And the one thought you can’t shake
’Cause sure, you’re sitting pretty
(You know what you are)
In your world on the back of your hands
(You know what you are)
But don’t you even try to tell me
(You know what you are)
That you wouldn’t give
Every life you’ve lived
For a world that understands

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
You’re stepping on the sidewalk crack
But it won’t break her cul-de-sac
You wait too long, she won’t come back
From this futility attack
(Closer)
You take her life and make it heard
(Come closer)
But you won’t even speak the words
(Come closer)
You go too far, she won’t come back
(Come close)
From this futility attack
Ahh

[Outro]
(Closer, come closer, come closer, come close)
Ohh, this futility attack
Ahh
