The lottery

It happened all in the passing of light
We won’t see it coming
I know that we’ll all lose in time
But my mind won’t stop running

Blame it on the air that you breathe
Well I can’t see how anything’s nursed on disease
Nothing is clean in this place
Our only hope is cutting off the nose, despite the face!

Who’ll take the lottery?
Don’t look away!
We’re the unlucky ones
I won’t let it tear us apart!
Who’ll take the lottery?
Don’t look away!
We’re the unlucky ones
I won’t let it take you!

This intrusion’s a functioning curse
Break the thumb and the whole hand will hurt
It’s not like moving backwards in time
It happened all in the passing of light

Blame it on the air that you breathe
Well I can’t see how anything’s nursed on disease
Nothing is clean in this place
Our only hope is cutting off the nose, despite the face!

Who’ll take the lottery?
We’re the unlucky ones
I won’t let it tear us apart!

Who’ll take the lottery?
Don’t look away!
We’re the unlucky ones
I won’t let it take you!
Who’ll take the lottery?
Don’t look away!
We’re the unlucky ones
I won’t let it take you!
