Lyrics

Another year of lost pace
In a new kind of stagnance

No lumens left to show
No light no hope
To hold back the water
And those who possess means
To stem the tide
Deny their imprimatur

All of the scaffolding
Superimposed
No wonder we are still
Ineffectual

All of the scaffolding
Superimposed
And all of this is not
Sustainable

In contrary

Explosions will fill the sky
They continue to deny
They chose not to see
Those devoid of free agency

In contrary the world is a cold dark place
Humanity will wash itself away

Superimposed
No hope

"Scaffolding is about the unviable nature of liberal capitalism. Capitalism by definition provides a skeleton society lacking of substance. The wheels of capitalism turn society based on want and greed. Health and needs take a backseat, as do education and human rights. Capitalism can only exist as a hollow scaffold, with the have nots holding up the haves, until the haves have too much, and the whole structure will come tumbling from the sky. Humanity is doomed unless we accept this and the pace at which we sprint to the precipice seems to just be increasing with each day that passes." - Lowell Shaffer (Vocals, Guitar)
