GATHERERS LYRICS

"Assembly"

In the city sun
we all bow and scrape for days as the rats congregate

What good am I to you, if I can’t sell you your beliefs?
What good am I to you, if I can’t purge you on a dime?
When all you ever do is bargain your repentance two for five

Wait, tell me you’re listening
Tell me that we’re doing well
and we’re all invisible.
Say that you wear us proud
Drown us in demise.

In this ocean of chemical noise
There are no miracles, only ticker tape.
Live from a bomb shelter
Resurrect and celebrate.

What good am I to you, if we keep talking in circles?
We send distress calls to heaven,
A red light on repeat.

Day after day this world grows colder,
so passive and forced
cruel and calculated
so 1984

Everyone, everywhere
Shed yourselves of everything and gather in the street
We’re falling to pieces
We’re so pulled apart and we fight with no purpose.
We’re all disassembled from the start
And on the day we die,
We’ll ascend into heaven to a sign on the door
“back in five”
