Desperate Measures by The Human Project Lyrics

Call me snowflake and expect the avalanche
Your attitude - our ammunition - I hold keys to all my prisons
Knocking down your crooked crowns root and branch
No mitigating circumstances, no returns, no second chances

Hive mind enshrined
So blind
No cause, no thread, no thought
You're spineless, shrineless, designless
No cause, no thread, no thought, no shame

With vultures closing in and patience wearing thin I'll take the high road, but only in your eyes
And for every pound I ever earned I have spent double on this curse, so I'll take the high road - but only in your eyes

Call me self-righteous and lose the leg you’re standing on
Your arrogance is my ignition - no excuses, no permissions
Understand your promised land is dead and gone;
Desperate times pour desperate measures: no retreat, no guilty pleasures

Silent witness, violent existence hid behind your virtues and curfews
Fuck you
A firebrand in no man’s land
With vultures closing in and patience wearing thin I'll take the high road, but only in your eyes
Don’t justify your lack of core
Don’t try, I’ve heard it all before
So I'll take the high road, but only in your eyes
