Keep Watch
Adult Karate
Keep watch over me
I'd like to think that all the other ones are dead and done
Just think how it used to be
Not a cavalcade of all these useless memories
Comfort your fears
As if the world wasn't ending any day, anyway
We can stand up for things we need
But what if our voices are drowned out underneath an endless sea?
Running from the police
And fill your arms wide with all the sanity you wish you could steal
Just think how it used to feel
Before the sadness and the fear had drilled a hole right through you
Keep watch over me
We're scared to believe
All the things that we read
Minds desperate to feed
Veins aching to bleed
Voices will secede
Minds sick with disease
Just three words, I will need
Smog wash over me
And let all the voices repeat on and on endlessly
We can run until the work's complete
But what if our fate is to be choking on the lives we lead?
Keep watch over me
We're scared to believe
All the things that we read
Minds desperate to feed
Veins aching to bleed
Voices will secede
Minds sick with disease
Just three words, I will need
