A song about social decay

Lyrics

Steely eye she flashed the smile and then she started to speak
Far away I heard the sounds of the patriarchs unseat
and they call out to reach her but she turned and walked away
Spoken like a champion and left us all too soon, all too soon

All the time we stood aligned with what we once believed
Nothing left to organize, I know I'l never see all the ways that
she seemed to be in touch with what is real
If only I could take apart the flesh inside the steel, in the steel

All the broken bones, all the severed ties, all the paper dolls we made obscured by the world

Cover ground that fell away, we trip out on the beat
Overland our steps combine with the sound of the rolling sea
and it came as the storm drew clouds of smoke across the bay
Distant fires are burning faster in the coming days, in the haze

All the broken bones, all the severed ties, all the paper dolls we made obscured by the world
