Light This City - Maddening Swarm Lyrics
It may feel like it's too much to handle, But it's not time yet.Your body operates, automatic, Like a breathless engine, It shines in the swimming haze and heat.While your mind, Like a swarm of insects in a gust of wind, Crumbles and reassembles, Forgetting it's original, innocent form.No, it's not the time.Don't let your frantic mindRun you awayFrom me.No no no, it's not the timeYou'll be alrightDon't let your frantic mindIn our oldest, wisest yearsWell laugh, Looking backAt our losses.Yours, the self-control you longed toTrust, Mine, any adequate words to dissolve theMounting Pressure Moment.And in our tissue-paper skin, Well mock the frailties of youth.And cherish the steel-solid mindsWe acquired in time.No, it's not the time.Don't let your frantic mindRun you awayFrom me.No no no, it's not the timeYou'll be alrightDon't let your frantic mindI know life starts in slow motionAnd ends in a fast-forward-flash, When all you want to do is rewindSo you can reliveThose days we spentNever wondering about how it all will endRemember the languid, mesmerizingHours we spent, spellbound, Dreaming of the life we leadNow?Don't be disillusionedDreams and reality mayNever synchronizeBut someday, well get awayWith a perfect dayAnd well laugh, Looking back.The machine hums to the whineOf the cloud, the swarmNo louder than beforeWhen did it becomeThe anthem of impending tragedy?A maddening melody buildingIn shrill intensity?Maybe it's just a new song to sing us to sleepIt's not going to end the way you think
