lyrics

Watch it disappear around the bend
Ride a one-trick pony to the summer's end
Wave goodbye through time, it's over
But was it yours to take at all?

Strike out fear like learned fools
Just destroy like there's nothing to lose
Look at nothing, scream for vengeance
All zero points of righteousness are yours

Talk of justice but the ship is long since gone
It was never here at all
Look at all the broken clocks around us
The hourglass has cracked and we are spilling out in droves

The ship has sailed, the deed is done
But time will not be kind to us
Vengeance done, but all for nothing
No one served, no one gone back in time

Proboscis disappears in a silver gleam
Control your variables, but what do they mean?
You don't really know what you're doing
But you don't really care at all

Talk of justice but the ship is long since gone
It was never here at all
Look at all the broken clocks around us
The hourglass has cracked and we are spilling out in droves

The ship has sailed, the deed is done
But time will not be kind to us
Vengeance done, but all for nothing
No one served, no one gone back in time

No ship will come to greet us
Nothing has been there all this time
This will always stay to haunt us
All zero points of righteousness are yours
