Lyric

The politics were loud, but the walls are paper thin

We played a game of logic that we were never gonna win

Saw the shadows rising up, blocking out the sun

A thousand broken signals, the damage has been done

The heavyweights are walking, crushing down the street

Diplomacy is over, now we vote with our feet

But I’m not running with the crowd, I’m planting down my heel

Sometimes the only answer is the coldness of the steel

Go, don't look behind you

I’ll be the interference, I’ll be the blinder

The silhouette is waiting, the power’s off the charts

I’m drawing out the line before the chaos starts

In the space between the seconds, I am standing still

Facing down a gravity that bends the iron will

The colors start to fade out, the noise begins to cease

A momentary glitch before the final release

Oh, it’s a quiet violence, a mercy in the dread

Just a heartbeat skipping and a wire cut dead

No scream, no drama, just the closing of a door

I’m not the pilot of this body anymore

Witness on the sideline, keep your vision clear

Don’t let your pulse take over, don’t give in to the fear

You see the gap is infinite, a canyon in the sky

But watch the way a soldier learns how to say goodbye

It’s not about the winning, it’s the stance you take

When everything is crumbling and the ground begins to shake

So memorize the angle, capture every frame

Before the winter freezes over every name

In the space between the seconds, I am standing still

Facing down a gravity that bends the iron will

The colors start to fade out, the noise begins to cease

A momentary glitch before the final release

Oh, it’s a quiet violence, a mercy in the dread

Just a heartbeat skipping and a wire cut dead

No scream, no drama, just the closing of a door

I’m not the pilot of this body anymore

A simple touch, feather-light

Turns the day into the night

Like a puppet with the strings cut loose

Making peace with the noose
