about

This one is a doozy, as they say. Brady says "you pretty much played all the notes on this one." I think that's right? Also it's constant chugging in the right hand and I mess it up live. Pertains to certain recent events, in a pretty on-the-nose way, do forgive me.

lyrics

War footing means no contact
The drawing of a circle
Measured by my body lying down
At least--at last--today.

Broadcast the next directive
Depends on who you follow
Up and running, take it lying down
We'll weather it ok.

Yesterday someone loaded bags into my car
War footing means we live like kings
My house is on a hill
Three floors and a bunker
I leave a gift to some charities in your name.

War footing tears the contracts
And stitches them together
Redline the language lying down
Approved from home someday.

Broadcast with reservation
The daily serpent's sermon
Scan the lowlights midnight lying down
What does your sleeping say?

Yesterday someone asked if we could make a deal
War footing means hold out holed up for days
My virtue is for sale
Three floors and a way out
I leave a mark in cement before it dries.

This is how we build a bridge
This is when we leave the house
This is why we stay away.

Roll back to how it started
The closing of a circle
Stand up the bodies lying down
Like any other day.
