Lyrics Firstborn - Khamsin

I never meant to be the firstborn
I couldn't avoid it--
Was it enough to share our blood?--
It's all up to odds and chances

They'll call out every name in-time,
We'll have to line up the right way
All I've done is set it wrong--
Never sensed lost sense--thought I'd understand by now

Are we coming of age?
Are we passing the blame?
Can we reconsider and reform,
Loose our grips and reset the score?
Are we passing the time?
Are we reading off lines?
It's nothing more than the blind leading the blind
So just let me see clearly

All my words were yours to speak
No breath to call your own
There's so much left I haven't told
Oh, G-D, these shallows left us feeling cold

It's another face saved--illuminate the blank slate!--
All-synthetic false prophet, wouldn't guess we ever got it
Iridescent fake face, incandescent disgrace
So dense, sixth sense, precognition in the aftermath

Are we coming of age?
Are we passing the blame?
Can we reconsider and reform,
Loose our grips and reset the score?
Are we passing the time?
Are we reading off lines?
It's nothing more than the blind leading the blind
So just let me see clearly

Never thought I'd be,
Never thought I'd be it, never thought I'd be your firstborn
Don't wait passive in a fate I can't see
