Greg Graffin - Cease lyrics

Artist: Greg Graffin

album: American Lesion


Blacktop pavement cover me
Like a chemical reaction or a steamroller
Spreading randomly
There's a distant buzz and low frequency
It tickles my ear, rumbles under my feet
And it shakes the leaves off of every tree
Violently
What pretension, everlasting peace
Everything must cease
Institution on the hill
Like a beacon in the mind of an ancestor to unite a peoples' will
There's a shadowed stain on the west facade
It has spread like decay to enshroud the fraud
And the descendants find it oh, so odd
Oh, so odd
What pretension, everlasting peace
Everything must cease
Grave memorial
Hewn white stone
Like the comforting caress of a mother
Or a friend you've always known
It evokes such pain and significance
What was once is reduced to remembrance
And the generations pass without recompense
Aah
What pretension, everlasting peace
Everything must cease
Ooh
Everything must
Cease
