lyrics

Disregarding the definition of the word
Variables in an incoherent system
Devoid of value, the formula runs repeatedly
in an infinite loop.
Seemingly without disruption, the system flows.
The system flows.
Numbers stacked high on pallets
Packed tight and nigh on written off
Numbers racked endlessly in open fields
Meaningless
Data collected from the beginning of days and
discarded without analysis.
Serving only the process it was applied to and
denied any catharsis.
Where a flame once burned, now fire is deprived
of the arsonist.
It burns on its own, somewhere, alone.
The firekeeper has gone missing with no guarantee of
return, the fire is left unattended
Doomed to burn out promptly.
Six, seven, eight, nine.
The numbers await eagerly for the cycle to repeat.
Six, seven, eight, nine..
Realistically speaking, worthlessness redefined.
The numbers merely exist.
They used to be stellar.
Veins throbbing, wishing the blood drawn.
Now frail, withering and blank faced, awaiting a day
they find application
The formula runs repeatedly in an infinite loop.
The formula changes
Negative, it remains the same.
The numbers do not respond well.
Anxiously awaiting the day they can abandon
the system.
Patient, they seem.
They exist in an exact falsehood.
Questioning their own presence, the system fails.
The system fails.
We've all thought about it
The topic - actively discussed.
A system without application
Inevitably doomed.
