Nic Marco - Objective Survive

The old time games don't hit the same
And everything's to blame
I took the train downtown
People laying 'round
And waiting
Administrating in madness
And looking at things
A different way
Always frightened and frayed
All politicized
People trying to decide
What could be lies for their erasing
Full of righteous anger
I can't blame her - there's so many sovereign souls in danger
The savior's nowhere to be seen
What a shame
A name without a face
I'm looking at this place
She's somehow unfamiliar
But I feel her, she's realer
Than the fear interior searing pain
Singed on a flag engulfed in flame

Objective Survive
TV broadcasting live from nowhere
And I sit and stare at the flickering lights
Sirens off in the distance
I know exactly what's missing
Someone to take my hand
Tell me it'll be all right

Feels like something's going wrong
Turns out it's been going on
For just about as long as anyone can remember
Maybe more
Lying on the floor to take a stand
Standing together, if not joining hands
Embers fly, and people plan
Crying, dying, giving what they can
Postponed parading in the street
Evading people I'd prefer to meet
Elite escape to safety ain't in the cards
Between your hands
Living in a land of brash disaster
Cover bullet holes in fresh paint and plaster
A masterpiece of planning, panned
The death throes of a desperate man

Objective Survive
TV broadcasting live from nowhere
And I sit and stare at the flickering lights
Sirens off in the distance
I know exactly what's missing
Someone to take my hand
Tell me it'll be all right

Objective Survive
Wait for the day to arrive
TV broadcasting live from somewhere
And I sit and stare at the flickering lights
Sirens fade in the distance
I know exactly what's missing
Someone to take my hand
Tell me it'll be all right
