Collateral Lyrics by TK the Architect

these days / このごろ

2022

[Verse]
This ain’t how it’s supposed to be
Theirs over mine, heavy weight on who I wanna be
Every thought deserves to breathe
A thought is just a thought ‘til it’s free of its canopy
Satellite Magnemite
Float around each other like, out of sight out of mind
Still in my periphery
Inexplicable synergy
Collateral debility, sacrificial stability
Tranquility rare like Celebi
I heard angels singing while I fell asleep

[Pre-Chorus]
Woke up to your demons picking feathers from my dreams
Another cеlebration for a false sensе of peace
You left behind your empathy buried in the debris
What’s it mean?

[Chorus]
I know we’ve been told
“We ain’t got no time to hold onto lies”
Wish I was clean of all this belief
Wish I was clean of all this
“Pieces we let go, we ain’t got no time to go back and find”
Wish I was clean of all this belief
WIsh I was clean of

[Verse]
I’m a tree in a forest on a trail to a mountaintop
Something that you’ll see as you pass through
“If you ain’t got something that we need, then you past due”
Check the wreckage for past lessons
Found ‘em burned, lost, buried
“A necessary cost of progress, I guess”
Was it really?
Man, this year kicked my god damn ass
What’s that high you got there?
How long’s that last?
Heard laughs, “Bout as long as that shadow you cast”
Cold facts
Sign on the wall says this too shall pass

[Pre-Chorus]
Woke up to your demons picking feathers from my dreams
Another celebration for a false sense of peace
You left behind your empathy buried in the debris
What’s it mean?

[Chorus]
I know we’ve been told
“We ain’t got no time to hold onto lies”
Wish I was clean of all this belief
Wish I was clean of all this
“Pieces we let go, we ain’t got no time to go back and find”
Wish I was clean of all this belief
WIsh I was clean of
