Interventions


Everyone's obsessed with interventions
Little words, all too absurd to mention
Come between this nightmare and some sleep
Nothing that we see is meant to keep

Everybody knows what's best to think now
Struggling with the will, it's still lost somehow
Made for futures washed up in the sand
Sunny days without a winning hand

Could you really be so sheltered?
Living blissfully repressed
Well ignorance is no excuse
But again, I must digress

Everyone's obsessed with interventions
Little words that curb our mind's suspension

Circus acts to walk along this tightrope
With balanced thoughts all caught up in some false hope
Carnies that could never compromise
Far beyond the big top in the sky

Could they really be so stupid?
All so hopelessly detached
Some intentions convoluted
Tell me how would you react?

Everyone's obsessed with interventions
Underlined the times for your prevention

Watch the colours come and go
From sounds that you could never know
Dried up and ashamed
Our thoughts have been detained

It's gonna make an awful sound
But in the end you stood your ground
To come to terms with this
A life of happiness

Everyone's obsessed with interventions
So take what's left and rest in some redemption
