Taken off the album âMosaicâ

Matt Smith:
ââFlickerâ was one of the first tracks written for the âMosaicâ album. A fish-out-of-water tale of brutal honesty, the lyrics are a bit more straightforward and candid than usual from me, but thatâs what felt most authentic in the moment. Musically, itâs aggressive, melodic, and fast, and sits somewhere slightly different for us, I think. It seemed like an obvious choice for opening track of the record.â

Lyrics:
FLICKER
Sometimes I feel like I just donât belong here
Like a shadow cast from a time long past
Iâm swallowed up and dissipating
I feel so out of phase and so invisible
Itâs disorienting, alienating
Little stranger, welcome to the world
Do you ever feel like you just donât belong here?
Me Iâve always known this isnât home
Iâm starting to feel so disconnected
A stranger in a strange and growing ever stranger land
In a world that I donât understand
So misdirected
Trapped inside a world that buried Mozart in a pauperâs grave
And said, âGive us Barabbas,âcrucified Christ and turned away
Electing fools to lead us
Rejecting truth, see us spiraling down
Shall we enter the last days?
Out of place and out of time
Oh tell me whatâs the value of a life
In a modern day and age where monsters cling to evil ways
I canât shake the feeling I just donât belong
But we flicker for a moment
Flicker for a moment, then weâre gone
I donât belong here
I donât belong here
Pleasure slaves indulging every manner of perversion
If technologyâs the god we feed, our sacrifice is full submersion
Lifelong friendships ended over stupid politicians
All the rhetoric and superstitions
Life on a screen, a simulated world that buried Mozart in a pauperâs grave
And said, âGive us Barabbas,â crucified Christ and turned away
This world feels so synthetic
Lost apathetic
While tragedy vampires drink blood of the fallen
Out of place and out of time
Oh tell me whatâs the value of a life
In a modern day and age where monsters cling to evil ways
I canât shake the feeling I just donât belong
But we flicker for a moment
Flicker for a moment, then weâre gone
Centuries of deep corruption led to compromise
Practicing a counterfeit morality, the great disguise and
I donât belong here
Iâm just a weary traveler
This world has lost sight of the value of a life
Out of place and out of time
Oh tell me whatâs the value of a life
In a modern day and age where monsters cling to evil ways
I canât shake the feeling I just donât belong
But we flicker for a moment
Flicker for a moment, then weâreâŚ
