Shunners - Coilguns

Hear the distant ones, dropped online, stuck in fear, whispering

How will we make it until the end of the year?

We quit nights of sleep, hate our cells sleeping hearts counting beats

Think we can make it but miss it each time

Once the point is reached, freeze the clock, close the door, lock ourselves

Wake up in pain, plain stupid and vain

We still ask for more, mind the gap, waste our time

How will our back stand such pain without dropping the weight?

Hold the line, watch the line, line the line, watch the watch

Ticking for hours and watching us fall

Time feels ignorant, brains alike, bodies ill, shoulders weak

Science makes fun of its standing monkeys

While we hold the line, watch the line, line the line, watch the watch

Tticking for hours and watching us fall

We may speak no more, bear with us, let us in

We won’t be facing your screens nor stay where you want us to wait

We keep seeing love despised

Every standard, every try

That’ll keep haunting what just died

All we cherished back in time

Noise on a wire

Is this everything that can reach us now where we are?

While we hear our parents cry

Is this everything that we are?

Will we dare to compromize

Our own sanity, our whole house

While we see our parents cry

Wish we could freeze time before the exile

Rewind, rewind

We keep seeing love despised

Every standard, every try

That’ll keep haunting what just died

All we cherished back in time
