as the world burns, will we ever learn?
as the world burns, can't you feel the hurt?
lighting up the night, the trees are the heart of the earth
the lungs we breathe, on fire
there's no stopping what we started now, no poems or songs will turn us around
the rich won't listen anyway, they're busy burning us into the ground
there's no stopping what we started now, no poems or songs will turn us around
the rich won't listen anyway, but i'm still singing, yeah, i'm still singing
will you turn away?
will you watch the flame?
can you hear the prayers in the night?
the cries and screams as the children bleed and they flee the chaos but find there's nowhere to hide
the world is burning
the people are hurting
as the world burns, will we ever learn?
is nothing sacred, if so we won't make it
will we ever learn?
can't you feel the hurt?
as the world burns

sleep deprived dreamers

Staying up way too
late in the night
Our eyes wide open
We’re sleep deprived
Cause we are building
Community
The kind that gives us
Energy
(kiss)
What created these conditions that have pulled us to the streets?
Can’t sit back and watch it all collapse from a TV screen
so many people's basic needs still remain unmet
While our taxes pay state fasc to play with gas and rubber bullets
We are sleep deprived dreamers, full of electricity
Our bodies are colliding to the Rhythm of state violence
But we can’t afford to fail
We are sleep deprived dreamers, we’re just getting started now
In defense of black lives and the abolishment of ice
The stakes are far too high, we can’t afford to fail
We’ll take deep breaths,
And clench our fists
We’ll tear it all down
No more reform
We’ll take our time
Try to get it right
All that we love
Is on the line

death cult
04:35
|

sometimes it feels like there's a fascist in my head telling me that i'm the virus, that corona is the vaccine of the earth
and i don't mean to sound naive, i know that we ain't always lived in peace or harmony
i know that we've abused the land and i know that we've treated it like trash, time and time again
but i ain't gonna let this death cult of an economy force me to believe that i or any other form of life don't deserve to live, that we'd be better off without us around
no i don't buy into that bull shit, you know we've never even tried to organize society based on equity
what makes you so sure the only answer is mass genocide?
what makes you think we couldn't fix this if we tried?
sometimes i don't wanna look at or be seen by the world because i'm horrified at what we done and what we still do to one another
so many people seem to think this virus is an excuse to close the border, to keep the other out
so many people eager to watch each other suffer without blinking an eye
if we are the problem, then we are the solution, too

better off

take it slow
but let it go
cuz you're better off that way
yeah you're better off this way
sip your wine
there's no race to the finish line
when you're better off this way
they say you're better off this way
all the lies
all the one last tries
oh they, drained your spirit, sucked your soul
bent the truth until it broke
we held our breath, we tried to float
we've come this far, made it so close
i once was so afraid to say the cycle had to end someday
we ran in circles, lost our way
and i think we're better off this way
and if you press rewind
let it be for the last time
cuz there's nothing left to say
except that you're better of this way

Where’s the water flow?
Why do I always gotta slow down?
I act like I know when I don’t, like I don’t when I do
Singing another tune, like this one is my final breakthrough
Just hope i don’t lose it all now

tell me what you care about
and i'll do the same
put our brains together, maybe make somethin' change
what keeps you up at night
what drives you insane?
but what keeps you wakin' up day after day?
you are what you love
when the lovin' gets tough
you are what you love, oh
all the stuff that makes your eyes light up
tell me what you're scared about
what makes you afraid?
and if i am one of those i promise you're safe
you are what you love
when the lovin' gets tough, my darlin'
you are what you love, oh
all the stuff that makes your eyes light up
