No Surprise - The Slow Readers Club

My surrender is complete, whatever fate decrees

All hope and fear and life and death in symmetry

See light through crooked trees

Through charlatans and thieves

As algorithms filter our reality

And so it came as no surprise

That each of us had lived a lie

I scaled the highest peak

The scene defies belief

Looked out on all the horrors of humanity

A vile and vivid dream their greed was so obscene

All men conspir to cultivate a tragedy

And so it came as no surpris

My mouth was shut, my hands were tied

A little love would serve us well

A stitch in time, toll of the bell

Talk technicolour, the truth is uncovered

I’m sick and I’m starting to shake

Sluggish for days now I step through

The haze I’m awake, I’m awake

Talk technicolour, the truth is uncovered

I’m sick and I’m starting to shake

Sluggish for days now I step through

The haze I’m awake, I’m awake

And so it came as no surprise

My mouth was shut, my hands were tied

A little love would serve us well

A stitch in time, toll of the bell
