Tenderness

Lyrics

We've come to replace your clock's old stubborn hands
 We are the answer to why they never had a chance
 It was not so long ago that the world was mostly slow
 The age of iron, steam and speed turned a stroll to a stampede
 But we've come to increase time in between ticks
 And there is romance in the slow dances
 'Cause they're fertile in hush, futile in haste
 These are your nerves, this is how they taste
 Well, I can't count how many times I've been outdone by nihilism
 Joined the march that splits an open heart into a schism
 I cower at the thought of other people's expectations
 And yet still hand over mine to them
 ♪
 Travel where you are, tourism is sin
 These are the ruins we left behind, you can't take pictures of them
 If what they say is true, then you become what you chew
 If it decays, spit it out, affectation is a drought
 That you wait through when you hate everything that you do
 You wanna live outside the groove, then fine
 But it's there like a flower blooming in your ears
 Open up your mouth, pollinate your peers
 Nothing reminds the mind of power like the cheap odor of plastic
 Leaking fumes we crave, consume, the rush it feels fantastic
 But like power turns to mold, like a junkie going cold
 I need the fix of a little tenderness
 
 We've come to replace your clock's old stubborn hands
 We are the answer to why they never had a chance
 It was not so long ago that the world was mostly slow
 The age of iron, steam and speed turned a stroll to a stampede
 But we've come to increase time in between ticks
 And there is romance in the slow dances
 'Cause they're fertile in hush, futile in haste
 These are your nerves, this is how they taste
 Well, I can't count how many times I've been outdone by nihilism
 Joined the march that splits an open heart into a schism
 I cower at the thought of other people's expectations
 And yet still hand over mine to them
