lyrics

I feel paralyzed
by my phone these days
feels like all I can do is scroll

oh so terrified
by the news these days
I get rigid and hopeless and numb

when the ticker tape strips away
the little that we cling to
our hands are raised and fists are made
cuz only we can save us
I try to do my best
but it never feels like
quite enough

I push all my weight against it
But it never feels profound
The boulder always rolls back down
Just an inch off the top
Of what’s crushing me
Small steps to the edge of the world

I’m armored up against it
Fighting back with every breath
It barely seems to make a dent
Just an inch off the top
Of what’s crushing me
Small steps to the edge of the world

The edge of the world
The edge of the world

We’re so sterilized
Hyperanalyzed
And it’s by design
Keeps us pacified
Exhausted to the point
That we feel like giving up

So distractible
So we don’t know
The lives that they’re erasing
It’s genocide, I close my eyes
And light my medication
I’m choking on the smoke
But it’s all I got to soothe me now

I push all my weight against it
But it never feels profound
The boulder always rolls back down
Just an inch off the top
Of what’s crushing me
Small steps to the edge of the world

I’m armored up against it
Fighting back with every breath
It barely seems to make a dent
Just an inch off the top
Of what’s crushing me
Small steps to the edge of the world

The edge of the world
The edge of the world
