CLOAD “Q” Songtext
von Pinback

It′s still going, the fires are
Reflecting off the oceans
Burning in the beachheads
Turning green into glass shards
Showering the holes in
Embers and pieces

What it means I'll never really know
Only thing that is apparent is I have no control
And I still attempt to never be unkind
Prolly in a double negative when I can find the time, yeah

Such a big false slumber like the black sea
You′re contained but you retain ease
Hollowed out souls tumble where the glass bleeds
Reject the hive mind and you've offended me

What it means I'll never really know
Only thing that is apparent is I have no control
And I couldn′t care to file this part behind
If I only knew I had a choice of how it was defined, yeah


Every chance you take
Makes it feel like a little more is getting weighed
A sea of pain and grief surrounds us
And no one can stand clear
And everybody′s going to end up here
We try and sleep, our thoughts are calling
Ground against our fins
We pound the heads, our hands around our ears

Ripping out of the landmarks
Logos of the ape hearts
Provoking pieces
It's amazing the mindset
Knowing being foreflied
Is stifling your business
I′d be the first one to believe that I'd twitch from the hunger
That′s right before me
Retortion needs a dangerous reaction to reject yourself
Denying evolution

I can see them running now
Shy new faces running around


I can't, they never learn
I say never, yuh
Just stay awake
And never sleep
You just ain′t ever learn
You can't, you never, yuh
Just cover head
Don't wake and breathe
I can′t, they never learn
I say never, yuh
Just stay awake
And never sleep
You just ain′t ever learn
You can't, you never, yuh
Just cover head
Don′t wake and breathe

Such a futile gauge
There's no tail fix for now
A sea of pain and grief surrounds us
And no one can stand clear
And everybody′s going to end up here
We try and sleep, our thoughts are calling
Ground against our fins
We pound the heads, our hands around our ears
