lyrics

Our earth —a tinderbox — on fire, as we strive

We’re diving off of burning docks….just trying to survive

The new normal has arrived; this is no aberration

The elements have all conspired to spark this conflagration

Chorus:

Our melancholia is solastalgia

The world we grew up with is gone

Beyond mere regretful nostalgia

We hear the pain in Gaia’s song


The polar ice will all be gone while some of us still breathe

As humans we can’t get along, letting constant anger seethe

There is no place left to escape, the wind, rain, fire and flood;

One lesson of this hellscape is that we all share one blood. (Chorus)


Bridge: We have loved and lost a sense of place, untethered by the
seasons

As to the bottom we now race, with full knowledge of the
reasons

Our anger leaves us helpless, shipwrecked at the stable door

We find that we are faithless, with less courage than before

The music of the spheres still rings, perhaps it holds the key

But what to make of what it brings, beyond what we can see? (Chorus)

(Each day we fail to get along)
(We write the ending to this song)
(Oh how I wish this song was wrong)
