lyrics

We are floating on a satellite
Living over a random lie
Never ready, never right

We are cheating on our world
Killing our dreams, serving lies
Never ready, never right

And the finger of the cheater
is a chord more than a whisper
the leading tune to impunity

We are breaking down our throne
Our conquers will be just gone
Never ready, never fine

We are tearing down our sky
spreading rumours, faking cries
Never ready in hindsight

And the message of the dreamer
is an ultrasound, not a jitter
the faint melody of modernity

So burn your map, lady,
we need to forget borders,
we need to be to one another
just like friends, just like lovers
and if you're not ready, you must be ready,
you will be ready, if you're not already
and if you're scared, just don't be scared,
my ship has been sinking like forever.

I'll wait for you
at the bus stop,
or anywhere nearby,
or wherever love might come;
and you'll witness the decay,
the frames, lights are on,
the frames, the curtain falls,
the frames of our decay.

If you ever like this fucked modernity
If you ever understand this modernity
If you ever got what's right and wrong
If you ever got what's the point
If you ever got the sense of this
If you ever got why this wall
If you ever got why all this hate
If you ever got the indifference
If you ever got the ship so unsteady
If you ever got the guns, violence, darkness
If you ever got the meaning of this fog
If you ever got the deniers of everything
If you ever got the hate sellers
If you ever got the nationalists
If you ever got the cold wars
If you ever got the border drawers
If you ever got the next dictators
If you ever got the liars, the fake ones
If you ever got the tears we keep inside
If you ever got the businessmen
If you ever got the emotions gone
If you ever got the minor thing
If you ever got the final words
If you ever got the delay
If you ever got the ocean
If you ever got it someday
You won't surely miss
The frames of our decay
And I wish I were you
without the need to think of myself...
And the curtain falls.
