Lyrics Used Future - The Sword

Used Future

Woke up in the future
But nothing shiny and new
The world of tomorrow
Looks battered and abused
Robots riddled with rust
Circuits gathering dust
Waiting, in twilight
For you
This is the new future
Thought it was yours to explore
This is a used future
Feels like we’ve been here before
Lights on the horizon
May not be what they seem
Can’t remember a time before now
That doesn’t feel like a dream
The promises of prophets
Are not enough to stop it
The odds are getting narrow
That the target hits the arrow
And no clever resort will suffice to deflect it
So hold tight
Baby all night
And in the morning you can look around and see
This is the new future
Thought it was yours to explore
This is a used future
Feels like we’ve been here before
We’re in a used future
Everything around us must fall
It’s just a new suture
On an old wound that cuts through us all
