Lyrics

Take In The Air

Call it something like art
Your token brush strokes lose meaning in the dark
Watching paint dry from afar
Canvassing the remains that fell apart
Prospering from the pain
You fail to see that our loss is not your gain
The garish colors displayed always run

That’s the way of things
Desperate measures gaining strength
That’s the way of things
Always on the hunt for easy prey
In the scheme of things
Push it past the warning track
I think we just hit the wall

And so we write a new song
Esoteric, the wrong key, and too long
A melody few can hum
But all the parts are deserving of the sum
You pick the simple to blame
Struggling to catch up with falsehood fame
But which of us is in tune and in time?

That’s the way of things
Desperate measures draining strength
That’s the way of things
Always on the hunt for easy prey
In the scheme of things
Push it past the warning track
I think we just hit the wall




Take in the air
Take in the air while we still can
Take in the air
Better to trip -- better to fall
Take in the air
Take in the air while we still can
Take in the air
Better to trip -- better to fall

Along the way to the cause
We kept a journal of all the pros and cons
On every page scary words
In a language that you have never heard
We hesitate to proceed
While you lambaste the marks you cannot read
Critiquing truth with a match -- lies will burn

Take in the air
Take in the air while we still can
Take in the air
Take in the air while we still can
Take in the air
Take in the air while we still can
Take in the air
Better to trip -- better to fall
