The Swarm

[Verse 1] Step in time, don’t look away The sky is turning a communal gray It starts in the chest, a rhythmic hum The 'I' is gone, the 'We' has come Whether shield and crest or a masked-up face The soul is traded for a uniform pace. [Chorus] It’s a heavy pulse... it’s a fever dream Louder than a shout, quieter than a scream Drowning in the middle of the human sea Where did you go? Where is the 'me'? The mob is a hunger that never gets full Don't let go... resist the pull. [Verse 2] Watch the line blur, watch the empathy drain The collective high, the collective pain Baton or brick, it’s the same cold fire When the ego burns on the funeral pyre Keep your heart honest, keep your vision clear The loudest voice is usually fear. [Bridge] They say there’s safety in the swarm They say the fire keeps you warm But a cool head weathers the storm The fire eats the forest... And the swarm forgets your name. [Outro] Drowning in the sea... Where did you go? Stay awake... Stay alone... Don't let the rhythm... Turn your heart to stone.
