Pioneers

How did it get away from me?
How did it get away from me?
What did it say when I lost my way?
Just to make sure that I had something to say

Enough with the ceremony
Our hands have looked like that for years
There's nothing new about it
But everyone's a pioneer
It seems so arbitrary
To hold a funeral for our youth
A forgone conclusion
That we drew up in the dark and gave into
And I knew that mistake
Was all we had built
So much for perfection
It broke us down
How did it get away from me?
How did it get away from me?
I've been watching the gate from the first day
How did it get away from me?
What did it say when I pined away

Over a falt I could never quite rephrase?

Enough with the coronations
There's no one left who isn't king
Of something arbitrary
That's why I'm looking for a crown to pick apart
We're just collecting flies in jars
