lyrics

I conquer you, I let you conquer me
What I see through, the lens of calamity
It hurts but the sun still shines in the endtime, everbright!
All right, to abolish the conquest I must conquer myself
Scrutinized and stung by admission of habits hung
It's uphill but the sun still shines in the endtime, everbright!
Corona roiling, sucking moisture out of the outstretched arm
And carefully tended roots are spared of the blight
We are an abscess on the outstretched arm
The culture of conquest, the original scar
Emblems of merit, buoyancy is cash and who's mad enough to stop it?
The undercurrent has considerable mass
But we're all making like the ostrich
What is success?
When your sex seems so much better
If the measure of your pleasure is the letter of the law
Dying worlds in a pregnant galaxy
Competition and good old kleptocracy
I want mine, I want yours, I want his, I want hers
I must not think these thoughts
Get off the ride, get off the ride
The wholeness is a vacuum and the vacuum's got the wholeness inside
I conquer nothing, I request that you conquer yourself
The project's open, a portrait of exemplary health
I conquer you, I let you conquer me
What I see through, the lens of calamity
It's a mess
But we could clean up if we had the appropriate tools, correct?
Oh, conquistadors, I expunge my colonial mind
That which was removed from us will recirculate in time
But the sun still shines in the endtime, everbright!
Corona roiling, sucking moisture out of the outstretched arm
And carefully tended roots are spared of the blight
We are an abscess on the outstretched arm
The culture of conquest, the original scar
Emblems of merit, buoyancy is cash and who's mad enough to stop it?
The undercurrent has considerable mass
But we're all making like the ostrich
And why get so upset
When your sex seems so much better
If the measure of your pleasure is the letter of the law
Dying worlds in a pregnant galaxy
Competition and good old kleptocracy
I want mine, I want yours, I want his, I want hers
I must not think these thoughts
The boundaries decay, the boundaries decay
It happens, it happens, it happens
Every day
Every day
