ZTK - Eclipse lyrics

[Gambit] The city hyperventilates As the night air penetrates through the pipe cleared by the featherweights Declared renegades, a label plainly given By the same people riddling their children's brains with Ritalin A deranged litigant, giggling, ogles a prostitute Scorned by cops that watch p**n when they drop the lawful suit A monster looms in the darkest rooms of a hospital Wanting you, to notice and, the lotus plant lost its bloom This homeless man only wants some soup But it's gotta be the truth for dishonesty he would not consume I saw him lose his pocket watch, dropped it in the sewer Then sighed "I'm out of time" with his eyes locked on the frosted moon Pish posh; I've never met an obstacle I wasn't better for crossing but I guess evolution is optional It's quite the night to get lost into, it's pretty Just be careful when you're watching the city The city's watching you [Clutch.] Fog exfoliates; Sun seems to roll away This overcast is here to stay Whilst the city looks with pity, the children play Oblivious to each building's pain The adults, they still haven't changed Envy hits like thunder, regret like every drop of rain That's why when you look at them their eyes are sodden Former prodigies to oddities roam the streets on their odyssey Only to be forgotten God has seen these vagabonds with their bags of dreams Meandering the cities streets but is anxious to appease Ungratefully they make their way through the same cycle Escaping only through fantasies that history has plagiarized And repetition has destabilized Able minds often ponder deep within the light pollution The right solution to reduce the pull of the moon But are subdued and lucid It's very tragic, for society's not fair and balanced And it seems every Judas says he's Mary Magdalene They barely notice the serotonin and pheromones The air's too potent to share a moment and as it grows The city undergoes suffocation It's just a wasteland decaying beneath your feet As you place them [Gambit] Complacently gazing at the way that they lay adjacent As you hasten your pacing Afraid of making mistakes but remaining incapable of escape Wasting away your days evading the shame and the pain Chasing your dream Hoping it isn't only a waste of your patience With lungs hurt from the cigarette Old enough to murder, still too young to purchase liquor yet The veteran reflects on the d**hs of his best companions He served and was left abandoned, deserted next to his silhouette He couldn't believe that he had fought for their freedom When all the people wouldn't even spare a dollar to feed him He longed to clean the awful scenes still from his recollection As mothers usher children off in the other direction One of the countless souls to question why they're here Gridlocked in a metropolis bound to a life of fear Astounded by how the wounded would drown to dry the tears That compounded while shouting muted aloud to quiet ears It's difficult to breathe in Amidst the drifting smoke inflicted quickly by ritualistic demons We could embrace the pain, or race forever just to stay numb But you're the only one you'll never be able to run away from
