I need this to stop You can't keep coming back This cyclical nightmare An altered state under attack An unwelcomed distraction I was spent so long ago You are not welcome in this space any more There is no escape from our mistakes As you won't admit one ever took place There is no escape from our mistakes The Shrike The Shrike The Shrike I do not want to feel this way Sometimes you are left behind Sometimes there is no way out This designed collapse of civil dignity Is this not progress? This is where you'd have us be? There is no escape from our mistakes As you won't admit one ever took place There is no escape from our mistakes The Shrike The Shrike The Shrike Crushing in its loss I don't care This isn't for me Crushing in its loss I don't care This isn't for me
