Signed on for a Sequel lyrics

I begged

The world to heal its scars again

As I cried into oblivion

And the victims passed me by

I said

The curse has kept us spiraling

While the desperate keep on rioting

And the greedy plea with lies

One more summer

And yet another

While the more things change they stay the same

Apathetic inaction

Is gaining traction

While the lost don't play they lose the game

Don't fade out, we'll go off script

The last scene's behind our silent lips

We're signed on for a sequel

But nobody's seen the first act

Seen the first act

Of a hundred stories just like yours

Through the history of an endless war

They've come back

Signed on for a sequel

But nobody's seen the first act

Seen the first act before

And I wept

For the future of humanity

To be free of this insanity

Where the lessons learned repeat

I sent

A message to the least of us

That the greedy are carnivorous

And that hatred fears defeat

One more summer

And yet another

While the more things change they stay the same

Apathetic inaction

Is gaining traction

While the lost don't play they lose the game

Don't fade out, we'll go off script

The last scene's behind our silent lips

We're signed on for a sequel

But nobody's seen the first act

Seen the first act

Of a hundred stories just like yours

Through the history of an endless war

They've come back

Signed on for a sequel

But nobody's seen the first act

Seen the first act before

And our eyes consume the world today

Just as if the past has been erased

So don't run away, don't run away from time

There's a cycle of our symmetry

As a sign that history will repeat

So start looking back, start looking back to find

All the tragedies we've tried to mend

All the selfish acts with violent ends

We don't learn a thing from conflict

So it finds us once again

Don't fade out, we'll go off script

The last scene's behind our silent lips

We're signed on for a sequel

But nobody's seen the first act

Seen the first act

Of a hundred stories just like yours

Through the history of an endless war

They've come back

Signed on for a sequel

But nobody's seen the first act

Seen the first act before
