Lyrics

Is the vow worth upholding, and holding out?
Must be cold in Seoul now, nearly Christmas
The days alone delayed no swarming toward adharma
O'er the isthmus, you didn't miss much
In the brawl ensuing you're doing your all
Will you be calling bottom, standing tall?
I invoke Santa Barbara three times to calm down
And then come home to cataclysm
In a way you might say I've been right there all along
For the railing, flailing, and carrying on
I've been gathering my lessons skin-to-skin
How I wish it would storm now
Non serviam
Non serviam
And don't be fooled into eschewing your chores
You're safe in port, yeah, sure, but that's not what you're built for
Unswear the waking memories long gone
Transcend the has-been, hand-wringing whims
And just get on
With being someone
Make no mistake, your attempt escape, it became a syndrome
The longest way 'round is the shortest way home
Love loves to love love, as we walk through ourselves
Will I let my country die for me?
As you are now, so once were we
Laughing back down at my broken shackles
Throwing my weight into the block and tackle
Water in my hand
World without end
Non serviam
Non serviam
I give myself leave
To stay on the qui vive
Non serviam
Non serviam
In spite of all that you ordain
Despite all that you believe
Non serviam
