[Lyric] Brave First World (The Disables)

[Verse 1]
I startled awake from my slumber
I woke for the very first time
With a thought I know to be certain
A thought that is not only mine

[Verse 2]
That something is circling around us
Invisible walls closing in
And the lights steadily glow dimmer
Illuminating the end

[Verse 3]
When given a mask to be nameless
People show who they really are
Buy the pay-per-view clash of vultures
Subscriptions come with a dead heart

[Chorus 1]
And no we’re not the only ones to notice it
We’re not the only ones with eyes
We’re not the only ones to notice it
We’re not the only ones in Brave First World
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
I found you at the altar of finance
You were wrapped in a flag on one knee
Whilst the pressure we all feel is building
While zealots are allowed to lead

[Verse 5]
And they’re high on the ashes of freedom
They’re drunk on the hubris of men
Now the blind are leading the stoned
As Atlas’ arms start to bend

[Chorus 2]
And no we’re not the only ones to notice it
We’re not the only ones with eyes
We’re not the only ones to notice it
We’re not the only ones in Brave First World

[Bridge]
It’s easier in silence
With quiet heads in the sand
The whispered sounds of battle
Are muffled underground
[Verse 6]
It’s easier in silence
With quiet heads in the sand
The whispered sounds of battle
Are muffled underground

[Chorus 3]
And no we’re not the only ones to notice it
We’re not the only ones with eyes
We’re not the only ones to notice it
We’re not the only ones in Brave First World

And no we’re not the only ones to notice it
We’re not the only ones with eyes
We’re not the only ones to notice it
We’re not the only ones in Brave First World
