Perjury

from We're Still Here by Ryan Harley

/

lyrics

mediocrity has overthrown the monarchy
but nothing seems to change

pain and perjury have left us where we’re meant to be
it still goes on, the pain exists
it’s in your hands, it’s in your wrists
ah


the purple sea it comes and goes
but with the tide the more it grows
no home to keep you warm

the war is waged but none have won
no valiant prodigal son
just bags of skin and bone


don’t close your eyes
you have to see
the world that has enveloped me
you journey on but still they say
you’ll never live to see that day


and what is left for those below
a spectacle, a sell out show
the calm before the storm

the fight runs rampant in the street
the public outcry, bloody knees
of all the things you did last week
why did you try to be unique


don’t close your eyes
you have to see
the world that has enveloped me
you journey on but still they say
you’ll never live to see that day


they chew us up, they spit us out
but none are left, there is no doubt
the neighbours are at war
