Meridian, Meridian Songtext

Witness the broken bough



The talk on the airwaves

Is showing its teeth

They talk about the bomb

But fret not, fret not

And don't bat an eye

I'll tell you what went wrong



I spent a long time
In the pipeline

I did my time in school

I did the math

And I made my very own estimate

With the golden rule



How to proceed

With no sense of entitlement

Go where the sun don't shine

There's never any shortage

Of people in this world

Driving me out of my mind



Meridian, meridian

Lay down the line

Help us get there

And back on time

Show us the road

And we'll meet you on the other side

Time waits for no man

So we must say goodbye



Sometimes it's hard to see here

By the light of day

Something easy on the eyes

You think you're fooling everyone

But you are just the number one

Believer of your own pack of lies



Every time some new kind

Of shit goes down

It looks like more

And more of the same

Funny how the guilt is too much to bear

Even when we feel no shame



Meridian, meridian

Lay down the line

Help us get there

And back on time

Show us the road

And we'll meet you on the other side

Time waits for no man

We must say goodbye



To the line in the sand

That crept like a spider to bite us

Goodbye

To the knife in the hand

Of the sworn enemy who's inside us

Goodbye

To the sound of our names

On a tongue that would try to alight us

Goodbye

To the faces we wore

To identify or to hide us
