The Collective Deja Vu of Being Cynical Lyrics by CHALKEY

A World in Stop Motion

2023

I smell the temptations of everything I knew before (before)
The taste of it lingers like salt on a wound that festers and cures (and cures)
I dream up a way
I make up a type of confession that I could have saw (I could have solved)
But there was no way
The crowd of dissenters take over and swallow me raw (swallow me raw)
But we were
Dancing in the rain at night
Sunset in my brain too bright
Shadows on the wall are calling (shadows on the wall are calling)
Beckoning the spirits darling (beckoning the)
Everyone's a little cynical
Take apart just to burn it all
Open close fingers touching (open close fingers touching)
Systematic who is watching? (systematic who is watching?)
I smell the temptations of everything I knew before (before)
The taste of it lingers like salt on a wound that festers and cures (and cures)
I dream up a way
I make up a type of confession that I could have saw (I could have solved)
But there was no way
The crowd of dissenters take over and swallow me raw (swallow me raw)
But we were
Dancing in the rain at night
Sunset in my brain too bright
Shadows on the wall are calling (shadows on the wall are calling)
Beckoning the spirits darling (beckoning the)
Everyone's a little cynical
Take apart just to burn it all
Open close fingers touching (open close fingers touching)
Systematic who is watching? (systematic who is watching?)
Who is watching
Who is watching
