Palisades by The Step Kings Lyrics

Dare he not make a move
And slip out of the groove
Then the rest of the few
Will be right on his back
Nothing low slows him down
Can’t feel like winding down
Sink and drown just like war
Without keeping a score
Anyone with desire
Will only fuel his fire

Are we not
So afraid, so all-ready made that we suffocate
Are we not
So afraid, so all-ready made, why build palisades

He can see perfectly, but is he losing speed
Taking time by the half
Is what he really needs
No one sees no one bleeds
He takes on all of that
Buckle down at his knees
His habitat contracts
Are we not
So afraid, so all-ready made that we suffocate
Are we not
So afraid, so all-ready made, why build palisades

The more we build, more distant we become
Turn the lights out
