lyrics

all of their sphinxes have flooded
wearing their cloaks and conforming

branded by marks and then poisoned
left out to dry in the black hills

where the vultures clawed their eyes

spike through the wit of your candor
and language that's safe has been quilted

clarity lost in the masses
caricatures in false romances

and the blame it stays the same

symmetry binds the charge
and currents spark in the streets

when all that's lost remains
and the movements reveal their names

and the leaves of grass on the empty scene

the riddle has always been painted
grand army flags on the war horse

taking and never quite giving
caught in their lies to contain you

in the lands they call our home

symmetry binds the charge
and currents spark in the streets

when all that's lost remains
and the movements reveal their names

and the leaves of grass on the empty scene
and the leaves of grass on the empty scene
