Backwash Lyrics by Deadlights (Post-Hardcore)

Mesma

2017

Where did your ideas go?

One shadow after another
Get your picture on the cover
Regurgitate what’s run its course
Twist it round and call it yours
No expression and no emotion
Will you look back and be proud?

Where did your ideas go?
Is there nothing to find outside the box anymore?
Do you only go as far as you know?
How do you
Expect to gain
Momentum when
The bar’s your aim
And it’s reaching a whole new low

The few and the far between
Keep my dreams alive because
They paint a picture of a scene
Give something to believe
Of the way that it once was
The way it should be
Why have what’s shoved
Down into your throat when
You can find something that’s just for you
Something unique

Where did your ideas go?
Is there nothing to find outside the box anymore?
Do you only go as far as you know?
How do you
Expect to gain
Momentum when
The bar’s your aim
And it’s reaching a whole new low
Once the leeches let go we’ll raise our own

Keeping in touch with the solar plexus
Charges the light bulbs above our necks as
Wax drips down your smile
You were dimly lit for a little while
Now everything I hear
Is empty to my ears
Has the world lost its voice?
Filter out the noise

Where did your ideas go?
Where did your ideas go?
Is there nothing to find outside the box anymore?
Do you only go as far as you know?
How the fuck do you
Expect to gain
Momentum when
You all sound the same
And it’s reaching a whole new low
Has the world lost its voice?
Filter out the noise
