Regulator, show control
In the way you wield a fistful, wait
Save it for later, judgment call
Keep your bright eyes open for this one
For salvation, we must crawl
We must bow down in ritual
Grieve in stages, protocol
Ain’t it nothing, but fun after all? Yeah
From under all the weight of another
Familiar feeling where all your walls are closing in
I wonder, will we ever recover?
Watch the rot grow from within
While picking up the piece, just fallen in between
All we are is lost again
An unrelenting beast
This quest for inner peace, yeah
So deflated, turn it on
Breathe your air into me, or I’m gone
Congregated, standing strong
Only self-righteousness all along
For salvation, wait til dawn
We must bow down and sing our songs
Fear is waging, a marathon version of war, yeah, bang a gong
From under all the weight of another
Familiar feeling where all your walls are closing in
I wonder, will we ever recover?
Watch the rot grow from within
While picking up the piece, just fallen in between
All we are is lost again
An unrelenting beast
This quest for inner peace, yeah
Regulator, show control
Regulator, show control
Inner peace, out of reach, tuck and roll
Regulator, show control
Regulator, show control
Inner peace, out of reach, bought and sold
