RISHLOO - Just a Ride lyrics
[RISHLOO - Just a Ride lyrics]
Wicker wishes hold the flames at bay
No water for the martyr, oh, what a shame
Progress is a riddle of delays
Serendipitously arranged
Watch the embers wither into grey
And the filament fade
Oh, and the filament fades
It is the cause for causing choruses
To erupt in front of stages in the dark
It is the cure between the words
And what we thought we heard as such
Cleverness and sleight of tongue
Ordinarily, we'd find a better fit
And organise the messages' intent
With words and scenes, insinuations
Emotional manipulation throughout
(Throughout)
For no good reason, I'd deceive you all
Just to get the point across
And I've been a hypocrite
And I'm certain I have lied
And I've been to nothingness
And barely bothered to survive
I laughed when your levee broke
To shed tears when nobody rose
To say "It's just a ride"
Wearing the weight of the words
We never spoke of
Turning the weathered side to
Read their bones
The trap that was set was flawed at best
The trap that was set was flawed
Programmed to make ghosts of all of us
Oh, time gathering us with open arms
To feed these hungry birds of war
Splitting the line between two sides
But, I am neither one
Usher the windblown into the silos, dead
Treated like cattle while we
Listen for what's next
Secretly, we'll take it's pulse
Dropping from the eaves
Tourniquet the pace as the rhythm bleeds
Oh, time flattering us to see ourselves
As something more than we define
Where does it leave us when we cry?
It's not any skin of mine
Only locked in these days
As our wonder dissipates
How did we wait so long to call out?
Hello? Don't you know we know you know?
Don't you know?
You were brave with a free talking mind
And a voice that is still a cry for life
And no matter what we want
We want to be loved, yes
We were here, we were afraid
We paid them for the right
To commit our own ego suicide
But, I believe it's just a ride
No water for the martyr, oh, what a shame
Progress is a riddle of delays
Serendipitously arranged
Watch the embers wither into grey
And the filament fade
Oh, and the filament fades
It is the cause for causing choruses
To erupt in front of stages in the dark
It is the cure between the words
And what we thought we heard as such
Cleverness and sleight of tongue
Ordinarily, we'd find a better fit
And organise the messages' intent
With words and scenes, insinuations
Emotional manipulation throughout
(Throughout)
For no good reason, I'd deceive you all
Just to get the point across
And I've been a hypocrite
And I'm certain I have lied
And I've been to nothingness
And barely bothered to survive
I laughed when your levee broke
To shed tears when nobody rose
To say "It's just a ride"
Wearing the weight of the words
We never spoke of
Turning the weathered side to
Read their bones
The trap that was set was flawed at best
The trap that was set was flawed
Programmed to make ghosts of all of us
Oh, time gathering us with open arms
To feed these hungry birds of war
Splitting the line between two sides
