Wheel - Resident Human [The Best Alternative Metal Album]

Lyrics to Resident Human [The Best Alternative Metal Album] by Wheel

Tracklist: 01. Dissipating Elevated by definition I've never been a stranger to folly I've been clambering for purchase And given none Venerating every endeavour To defy the baser mechanics Why would there be an exception For us When nothing ever lasts? You double down upon your position Ever zealous in your denial Still extrapolating meaning With fervour Slinging around the same response for centuriеs (I'm) getting tired of all thesе rebuttals Why do we keep on entertaining The assumption That it should be fair? There's no evading it The inescapable reality But even in my bleakest moments I find myself Relinquishing my bitterness Suddenly it comes to me Nothing's what it seems to be And all of my apathy Is dissipating like the wind If everything will turn to rust And none of this was owed to us Then all we experience Will have to be enough So I'll cling to that instead Beyond imagining The distances untravelled I'll embrace these limitations And stop trying to escape them I'm free And all you'll ever be, is Forever indifferent to me 02. Movement Another eulogy Testament to our inaction Stoking the fire, building around us Ever the advocate Perpetuating our stagnation; It's always the same You've got nothing to say Synergise or get out of my way It's time to mobilise; heed this: You'll never redefine our cause I will shut you out Conflating every opposition With all that you despise No more empty words No more false equivalence Bear witness to the changing tide If you've got nothing to say Step aside, I'm done listening It's time to mobilise; heed this: You'll never redefine our cause I will shut you out You're daunted by the magnitude Of this undertaking (it's) so much easier to be Strangling in apathy Romanticising All that would cease to be But we know the price of silence We all know the price of silence 03. Ascend Born of a tendency To cower in the wake of titans Ours is to follow, not to lead In your stead Here we are again Wasting energy Still bored and uninspired Diffusing All that we are And still we persist If language has failed And the chorus is rising Why deny all the evidence? Who'll be the one to Save us from this emptiness? Reciting the Magnum Opus verbatim Every imperfection purified All that's left Is resignation It's still not too latе to abandon this mess If language has failed And thе chorus is rising Why deny all the evidence? Who'll be the one to Save us from monotony? Despite it all Let's unstandardise the form And reignite the spark I am ready to ascend Defining All that we are We've rallied for less 04. Hyperion Tether the line to bind us to the moment Never the time to comprehend, this Existential Reality for us We've weathered the tide, secluded by the sacred Our survival called for it But it always, always Kept us from the answer It's our calling To reach beyond our station Just one reason for defiance Reminded of all we've forgotten Fated to fade into nothing You arе not alone We're all hеading there Sever the ties to all those with the gall to Monopolise the infinite When the only surety, is Our return to dust Forever behind our forebears in the distance Treading where I fear to tread And every atom Tells me to turn away We're all marching through the fire Desperate to sate our desire Heedless we climb ever higher Driven on to greater heights We'll chase the sinking sun United in oblivion We're overrun We'll face our end together Under this sanguine sky One fleeting glimpse of the divine For you and I Nothing lasts forever Give us a sign to hasten the acceptance Of our own mortality None of us get to Change the road we're on All that's Left for us Is to make amends With our lack of permanence Imperfect as we are Disconnected from the stars And cast back down to earth Clarity returns We forget none of this is a given We forget none of this is a given We forget none of this is a given Give it up and search for something better We'll chase the sinking sun United in oblivion We're overrun We'll face our end together Under this sanguine sky One fleeting glimpse of the divine For you and I Nothing lasts forever Easier now for us to empathise with Others upon the path Harder to harbour this animosity There is another way Divided we may stand but United we will fall Savour the absurdity Of being here at all We'll chase the sinking sun United in oblivion We're overrun We'll face our end together Under this sanguine sky One fleeting glimpse of the divine For you and I Nothing lasts forever 05. Fugue [Verse 1] Interconnected, rise Endure the clamour And anesthetise [Verse 2] Interconnected, rise This radical transition Will shape us all [Verse 3] Kindness never killed a man Wearied by the scope of it Still your anger And tranquilize Retreat within 06. Resident Human Overstimulated And desensitised All this turbulence Has become Normalised Resistance is futile We're all immobilised Blinded by the signal fire Frozen in anticipation Sating the immediate As every venture crumbles Reevaluating My relation to The susurrous Until Only I remain Only I remain Only I remain Born of the mountain Every revelation Brings me closer to The place that I've Spеnt a lifetime seeking But herе I stand as a man divided Who I am and who I aspire to be Torn between present and future All I could ever be If I just let this go Leaving it all behind Tailoring this bastion Seeking a state of mind To see beyond the friction Lucid I'm Recalculating I would rather be Somewhere serene In this place where pain resided All I felt and all I could ever feel Reawaken and reject the hollow There's only now anyway I will remain I will remain I will remain Find the mountain 07. Old Earth [Instrumental]
