lyrics

I’ve lived in three cities, and two are on fire
All I see is ire spilling when I’m off and online
Peripherally posted viewing through the barbed wire
If you wanna be inspired, then you’ve got the wrong guy
Tonight I watched a man shot and killed live on a grainy stream
Last week I saw the same damn thing
Suburbanites cheered like rooting for their favorite team
That’s a big fucking bell that you can’t unring
Safe to say, that it’s been a down year
Thankfully I didn’t bring a child here
Vials of tears, I can’t waste the liquid
Erase existence, I’m a go without fear
I’m lying, except for the cryin’,
Giddy on up and accept the assignment
Pulley out the chasm and the depths that I’ve dived in
Eye on zenith, set for Orion (ugh)
I’m on the boards and I’m dropping gems
About dying systems and opulence
No need for the need of intoxicants
When every breath you take is bad oxygen
I’m like woah, blaming everything but wouldn’t point a finger in the direction of all the damage we’ve caused
Bite the hand that we feed off, see saw
Hanging in the balance of the planet we’ve lost

What a decade this year has been
It’s like we ran out of oxygen
Most days it felt like it wouldn’t end
Unless we disappeared along with it
Heartache and heartbreak
With Headaches like earthquakes
Relentless and dooming
The pain was consuming

It’s unfair to throw this weight upon a dying woman’s shoulders
But it’s a great reminder we’ll be fighting til it’s over
It’s heartbreaking watching people sink and hit the bottom’s touch
But it’s a great reminder that down here there’s a lot of us
For every trumpeter who’s riffing values with the bad notes
There’s a tune that buoys me when I’m drowning and I lack hope
I’m taking off tonight, the nihilism and the hurt is huge
Better get some rest because tomorrow we’ve got work to do
