The Granite Face - Somos

Convoluted situation

Overdose on information

Burn out in the rolling hills

Where pleasure used to live

Retreat to the golden enclave

Subsist on poison pills

Stand in line for a ticket to that prison on a hill

Heavily armed guards

Bored out of their minds

Desperately hoping for a chance to shoot to kill

A momentary thrill

Take a drink from the bitter lake

On your knees for the granite face

At least we made it out

Proudly say there was no doubt

Hold me close for the final act

Oh wait, it starts again

Impose a panicked curfew

Conversations all on edge

Glittering monuments that crumbled in the end

Burnouts from the absent future

Arrive in lucid dreams

Without a word they turn their eyes

To that prison on a hill

Heavily armed guards

Bored out of their minds

Desperating hoping for a chance to shoot to kill

A momentary thrill

Take a drink from the bitter lake

On your knees for the granite face

At least we made it out

Proudly say there was no doubt

Hold me close for the final act

Oh wait, it starts again

Take a drink from the bitter lake

On your knees for the granite face

At least we made it out

Proudly say there was no doubt

Hold me close for the final act

Oh wait, it starts again
