lirik lagu clutch. x gambit – eclipse
[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 prost-tute
scorned by cops that watch p-rn 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 repet-tion 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 deaths 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
