Slow Cascade

Living for the future like you're living for the night
Patterns in the distance, give 'em some resistance
Autobiographic democratic lullaby
Nothing ever matters if you never even try
Fighting for the present like you're fighting for the right
Simulated violence, punishing the silence
Medicated, fire burning traces in the sky
Nothing ever happens if you never even try
Now sleep begins to settle slowly over miles of tired eyes
And my fingers are on fire
Light the flames they do conspire to
Rise up, control, illuminate
Rejoice, rejoin, rejuvenate
Supplant, avoid, and suffocate
Elevate your mind, tonight
Some paradoxic union will survive
If only you could realize
Well, I can't conceive this engine falling
And I can't reminisce forever
Gotta seize the day, whatever
Satisfied and mesmerized
Still:
One moment you're breakin' theoretical
One next, you're thinkin' you'll get to realize
Living for the future like you're living for the night
Patterns in the distance, give 'em some resistance
Autobiographic democratic lullaby
Nothing ever happens if you never even try
Fighting for the present like you're fighting for the right
Simulated violence, punishing the silence
Medicated, fire burning traces in the sky
Nothing ever happens if you never even try
Living for the future like you're living for the night
Patterns in the distance, give 'em some resistance
Autobiographic democratic lullaby
Nothing ever happens if you never even try
Fighting for the present, you're fighting for the right
Simulated violence, punishing the silence
Medicated, fire burning traces in the sky
Nothing ever happens if you never even try [2x]
Living for the future like you're living for the night
