lyrics

Speak in a dialect of urban decay and dead city streets now
The news from nowhere came that Ste. Madeleine was burning down and yet
For the record I would like claim no part in it but
It still brought me to my knees and now I hold my breath…

…Again, just like everytime the tickertape scrolls by with updates that
Makes my intentions seem so bleak and quite arbitrary until I defect
We can’t stop - But we will switch it off one day

So we rationalise the fear…

A part of me went down into the modulated sound
Of the distress signals that they screamed
A part of me died now, at the first sight of the images on the TV screen
Transmitting out of nowhere – the message is unclear; congested with mediocrity
And I yearn to see – the static in grey and green

And all joke aside – there is something wrong when
You don’t pick a side – you give up the fight
So won’t you please state your name – and Call Sign

Speak in a dialect of urban decay and dead city streets now
The news from nowhere came that Ste. Madeleine was burning down and yet
For the record I would like claim no part in it but
It still brought me to my knees and now I hold my breath…

…and choke until my lungs collapse into waveforms
Diffract around capillaries with sinusoidal shapes
Composed of multiple frequencies which diverge
Into white noise distorting singular values

As the ashes all dissolve, and condense into passing clouds
The structure burns into the ground, with no one there to hear the sound
But the cameras and microphones are still picking up these weak signals
In space-time, these dots and lines – encryption spelling out despair
Spelling out despair….

We’re burning down
We’re burning down
