The Human Abstract
"Channel Detritus"

Don't fight it, look at it, another setback to slow you
Another day in vain, passing on, move along
Another dream is gone
You see that's how it goes in the game
We play, only to learn and train for our next mistake
To heal and break, growing strong in the wake

Seems like in no one I can rely
Don't you tell me I won't survive
Thousands tell you that you won't survive
I'll survive
I'll survive

I've become my fears...you want my surrender?
You'll find no surrender here

Just loss and gain, look around

Losses impossible
You've got to pay the cost impossible
To make the impossible possible
You can't just throw it away
Fading one day to the next

Tamed by a siren song, tempted to belong
To an ordinary life...ask yourself why

Don't you let them pave your way, don't you play their game
Don't you pray for rain, look inside

Don't you let them pave your way, don't you play their game
Don't you pray for rain, look inside

At what you'll find it's all in your mind

Regain an honor disappearing
It's a power, a birthright disappearing, it's a call to save what remains

Fools regret until they die
Forgive yourself
Fools regret until they die
Forgive yourself back to life
Forgive yourself back to life
Forgive yourself back to life
