THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “hear the distant ones, dropped online, stuck in fear, whispering how will we make it until the end of the year?
we quit nights of sleep, hate our cells
sleeping hearts couting beats
think we can make it but miss it each time
once the point is reached, freeze the clock, close the door, lock ourselves
wake up in pain, plain stupid and vain
we still ask for more, mind the gap, waste our time
how will our back stand such pain without dropping the weight ?
hold the line, watch the line, line the line, watch the watch
ticking for hours and watching us fall
time feels ignorant, brains alike, bodies ill, shoulders weak
science makes fun of its standing monkeys
while we hold the line, watch the line, line the line, watch the watch
ticking for hours and watching us fall
we may speak no more, bear with us, let us in
we won’t be facing your screens nor stay where you want us to wait
we keep seeing love despised
every standard, every try
that’ll keep haunting what just died
all we cherished back in time
noise on a wire
is this everything that can reach us now where we are ?
while we hear our parents cry
is this everything that we are ?
will we dare to compromize
our own sanity, our whole house
while we see our parents cry
wish we could freeze time before the exile
rewind, rewind
we keep seeing love despised
every standard, every try
that’ll keep haunting what just died
all we cherished back in time”
