Byzantine Lyrics by Roughly Human

2021

[Intro]
I wanted to go back
To the time I was a teen
What the fuck do you do
When the whole world turns byzantine

Unfettered emotions
Susceptible to the ebb and flow
Off capsules and potions
It all comes up when I'm below

[Pre-Chorus]
Down in the dumps
Across the road
Can't bear the stench
There’s something rotten in my soul

[Verse]
We used to feel secure
We used to be so sure
We handed out brochures
We used to dream of war

And then it finally came
We simply couldn't wait
It was a joyous state
Knockin’ on Heaven’s Gate

But now we're not asleep
We have gone in too deep
And have we earned our keep
This hill is far too steep

Now in the valley of death
Demented souls won't rest
And at the shadow lords' behest
Put on their Sunday best

[Hook]
A tin foil helmet
Emblazoned with the letter Q
Losing my taste and smell
Whatever I believe is true

[Post-Chorus]
I have been beaten black and blue
(now don't go crossing thin blue lines)
My land is in decrepitude
(my friend, we're running out of time)
I like the one who's strong and rude
There's microchips in baby food
There's something lurking in the air
It catches all those unprepared
We can't let all of them succeed
Prioritize us on your feed
We'll show you things you won't believe
A silver platter flat like the earth
Make sure they eat their just desserts
We'll show ‘em what we're really worth

[Bridge]
Down on God’s green Earth
The zombies rising from the dirt
Leaving bacteria on the hearth
Don’t you believe a word
Or you’ll get hurt

[Outro]
We've all been lost these past few years
If we're god’s sheep, give me the shears
It doesn't matter what they hear
Divided, conquered by the fear
And you’ll go mad, King Lear
Just go to sleep my dear
There's nothing left for you here
There's nothing left
There's nothing left
There's nothing left
There's nothing left
There's nothing left
There's nothing left
There's nothing left
