Words and Music: Chater

lyrics

We’re back again
How terribly tragic
How unpredictable
But if we payed attention we would know

How?
How so?
Haven’t we been told?
How many times ago?
Well, if we payed attention we would know
How?
How low
will we sink in this circle?
A million leagues below
But if you payed attention you would know
You can grit your teeth and struggle through the pain
But if you die again it's all in vain
So tell that joke again
know what I’m sayin?

Burning buildings
Smashed windows
And hurt feelings
Somehow outweigh the pain
and suffering
I guess it's all the same

Mirror reflections
Or minor infractions?
Now forming different factions
Separate but somehow equal in action
The cats out of the bag, can't get ‘em back in
So make sure it aint the mirror you’re attacking
Glass ain't made of flesh and it's sharp
That's seven years of bad luck to the heart
It's happening again
Will you play a part?
Sweden on the sidelines
I guess that's a start
If you consider negligence an art

Long knives
and broken glass
Don't think too fast
Else you’ll end up on your ass
How long did you expect this to last?

Unsustainable
They’ll take you and me off the table
We’re ready willing and able
to accept the new fable
They’ll switch the names
And everything else can stay the same
Look, I need cold hard cash
How long did you expect this to last?
20 years of bad luck have passed
I’m sick and fuckin’ tired of walking on broken glass
I thought we left this buried in the snow
Somewhere near old Moscow
70, 80 years ago
But if I payed attention I would know
Still so sorry for how I felt
The consequences of my actions delt
One hundred more years and the snow will melt
A couple more degrees and the snow will melt
In the desert overseas the snow will melt
With this hot new disease the snow will melt
A simple change of the season and the snow will melt
