Man Speaks:
It is inevitable
he becomes obsolete
because the things
that define him
become obsolete
These things are
part of who he
is and now they
are irrelevant
typewriters cursive
handwriting dictionaries
encyclopedias landlines
operators payphones
mail conversation
touch sympathy
empathy love privacy
Verse 1:
pleased to meet
you in the grey
swinging slowly
in the hang
all together
on the beat
new machines
are coming primed
seasons change
and combine
starving bees
on dying vines
revelations in
your mind dark
F(hold)
and then on fire
Chorus 1:
obsolete ab--solutely
absolute ob-so-lete
I'm hanging by my
testimony I expire
all I've known
G# C# Ebm Fm F# F#(Bass solo)
ob-so-lete absolute
Verse 2:
run running
far behind
faster faster
borrowed time
heretics has
lost its mind
we are undefined
Chorus 2:
obsolete ab--solutely
absolute ob-so-lete
yeah Hanging on
upon nostalgia
an--tiqua-ted
all we've known
ob-so-lete absolute
Bridge:
swinging men on
M7
a tree weighted
bags of debris
their survival
M7
contingent on
their empathy
they aren't
anything but prey
Man Speaks:
tradition convention
lineage morality
compassion eye
contact history family
Verse 3:
F(hold)
we aren't anything
but prey all the
tools taken away
all the words we
used to say
salutations
courtesies
mama papa gracias
Guitar Solo: Bbm--G#--F#--F--
Mama Papa save me
Chorus 3:
obsolete ab--solutely
absolute ob-so-lete
yeah Hanging on
our testimonies
we expire
all we really
know we're not
anything but prey
obsolete
absolute ab-so-lutely
obsolete
absolute ab-so-lutely
