Track 4

lyrics

We're at a critical point, looking into the distance
The harrowing horizon, a hideous image
Societal ills, we live with a sickness
It's a cruel planet, an indifferent existence
Crashin' out, no emergency breaks
A real mess made of merciless snakes, mass murders, and rapes
Fascists fixate on furtherin' hate
People gettin' burnt at the stake as we yearn to escape
But I'm lookin' for the light like a solar flare
Colder air heating, depleting off all the polar bears
Earth slowly melting like a popsicle
Unrest unaddressed, shook by what's possible
And I don't wanna wait to be a casualty
Casually complacent, not acting out of apathy
Inhabiting a haven of the heartless, hardships
Dire desolation, deep inside the darkness

And I don't really get it
I don't understand, man, I really just don't get it
But it'll break us if we let it
In this world gone crazy, I'm worried where we're headed
Yo, I don't really get it
I don't understand, man, I really just don't get it
But it'll break us if we let it
In this world gone crazy

Bleak news on the television chyron
Got me nostalgic for a time that's bygone
Air growin' thin, climbin' up a hill to die on
Amidst the abyss and we're tickin' like a time bomb
Managing insanity, the efforts are tireless
Angst adding up, less pluses than minuses
Violence and these viruses seepin' inside our sinuses
The writing's on the wall but scrawled out like hieroglyphs
Hard to understand, we're teetering closer
To the edge, on a ledge, tryin' to keep our composure
Economic uncertainty, inundated infirmaries
Cries for relief, inside of the beast burgeoning
Another song sang as the seasons change
Annihilate naïveté, priorities rearrange
Chest heavin' and stress eatin' as all the people pray
And find solace in all this to have a peaceful day

And I don't really get it
I don't understand, man, I really just don't get it
But it'll break us if we let it
In this world gone crazy, I'm worried where we're headed
Yo, I don't really get it
I don't understand, man, I really just don't get it
But it'll break us if we let it
In this world gone crazy
