the gc5 - enjoy the view lyrics

from this distance clarity is a laughable ideal
words shouted aloud, no audible appeal
the machines keep rolling, the show must go on
the kings strategically sacrafice their pawns
don't wanna play that game, oh no
i don't wanna waste away
don't wanna join the ranks of the dead
i'm barely breathing on the edge
but i enjoy the view
from safety, fingers pointed amount to nil
if the guns don't get you, your silence will
must i always shirk? give me some constructive work
or some meaningful responsibility
