Lyrics The Granite Face - Somos

The Granite Face

Convoluted situation
Overdose on information
Burn out in the rolling hills
Where pleasure used to live
Retreat to the golden enclave
Subsist on poison pills
Stand in line for a ticket to that prison on a hill
Heavily armed guards
Bored out of their minds
Desperately hoping for a chance to shoot to kill
A momentary thrill
Take a drink from the bitter lake
On your knees for the granite face
At least we made it out
Proudly say there was no doubt
Hold me close for the final act
Oh wait, it starts again
Impose a panicked curfew
Conversations all on edge
Glittering monuments that crumbled in the end
Burnouts from the absent future
Arrive in lucid dreams
Without a word they turn their eyes
To that prison on a hill
Heavily armed guards
Bored out of their minds
Desperating hoping for a chance to shoot to kill
A momentary thrill
Take a drink from the bitter lake
On your knees for the granite face
At least we made it out
Proudly say there was no doubt
Hold me close for the final act
Oh wait, it starts again
Take a drink from the bitter lake
On your knees for the granite face
At least we made it out
Proudly say there was no doubt
Hold me close for the final act
Oh wait, it starts again
