Prescience

Prescience Lyrics

How could it get any better?
Formed by anger, full of terror
Favoured curiosity, wearing off so rapidly
I didn't owe a single thing
And there was nothing left to give

Shadows in my vision bleed
Out obscured and distracted
Each step a mistake in trying to see past it
In line with futile company
We fought to protect it
This was supposed to be different

Not one to refuse and so far misused
Raptured in ruins
Immerse yourself, prepare for the fight
The last twist of the knife

Not one to refuse and so far misused
Patterned abuse
Immerse yourself, prepare for the fight
And that's what keeps me up at night

For those of us leaning into harm's way
When nothing came easy
Was this the grand performance,
To make a spectacle of me?

For those of us leaning into harm's way
With everything to lose
Was this the grand conclusion?
To sink with everything that's gone

A tragic reveal
Brought to my knees
Not without fear, daring to be brave
I wasn't asking for change
I was asking for it to let me in
