about

In spite of all we know, the urgency to change course and save what's left, we are still driven on as though "to keep moving at all costs; this is the law"!

lyrics

To keep moving at all costs, this is the law

the days pump by like the fist of an addict;
clench and unclench, try to raise that vein
got today's sweet infusion, let's tweet all about it
perhaps tomorrow's claws will not rip our souls again

To keep moving at all costs, this is the law

Another ordinary day gettin' ready for war;
another day in the life of a bad metaphor;
another soldier deployed to a sad charade;
another day when the pipelines of death are being laid;
another day when I'm beggin' just to get paid;
another day of crazy weather where there ain't no shade;
another day when I tell myself I'm not afraid;
get so tired of this life on the barricades,
while the man in the Google shades proclaims:
this virtual life is the only one worth being saved.

To keep moving at all costs, this is the law

it's a life you never asked for / the face that you've been given
that stuns you in the mirror / in the morning light of a heaven
made for someone else you never knew

Do you feel this is your destiny; where there's no final mystery;
and no such thing as history;
just endless spirals of uncertainty...

To keep moving at all costs, this is the law

It's a world where there'll be no great surprise
just an absence too pale to recognize
all that devil needs to know is exactly what you owe,
when he shows up to claim the keys to your life

through all my clear-cut memories,
can I find one that's a clear reprieve
for all I did or couldn't believe,
the tragedies I wouldn't leave
before I played my hand and lost
when all the accountants counted the cost

To keep moving at all costs, this is the law

Still hangin' on to my cause, though it has no effect;
still hopin' there won't be that final train wreck;
while afternoon slides toward night's horizon
before the darkness saunters in
like a mortician with his political grin
Don't tell me it's over, I've yet to begin
not again... but for the first time
