A Test Of Our Resolve

(album: Transmute - 2021)

Do we need a rest
From the relentless progress?
Settle down and catch your breath

Shoot from the hip
'Cause you're not my one fifty
Stable social relationships

Do we speak in code?
Use twisted language
Dilute the narrative

And the dreams we sold
Do we believe that it was
Us out there in the dark and the cold?

There's a mountain to climb
But we're starting to look old
Just scrambling out of the mud
Was a test of our resolve

On a comedown
The future was bright and hazy
Sephia and saccharine

My second skin
It's nature twisted
Graphite, steel and hydrogen

So put that body down
We'll find a workaround
Pick your black box and dispose of the rest

Come clean the mobile home
That queen became a drone
We lack a touch of finesse

There's a mountain to climb
But we're starting to look old
Just scrambling out of the mud
Was a test of our resolve

So put that body down
We'll find a workaround
Pick your black box and dispose of the rest

Come clean the mobile home
That queen became a drone
We lack a touch of finesse

And I don't think this'll be
How we pictured it
And I know we find it hard to believe

There's a mountain to climb
But we're starting to look old
Just scrambling out of the mud
Was a test of our resolve

There's a mountain to climb
But we're starting to look old
Just scrambling out of the mud
Was a test of our resolve

There's a mountain to climb
But we're starting to look old
Just scrambling out of the mud
Was a test of our resolve

There's a mountain to climb
But we're starting to look old
Just scrambling out of the mud
Was a test
