Deep in the cave they see day as a shadow.
Flickering lights set free the lie of motion.
Echoes resound and seem to give them characters.
Will they, within, break free to light their story?
Oh, what a world they'd see if they crossed that divide in the line!
Oh, what a world they'd see if they crossed that divide in the line!
(C7)
... divided line
Deep in their caves they see the day as a bother.
Flickering screens, they leach emotional energy.
Echoes resound and feed the lies of nobility.
Can they collide at speed to break that memory?
Deep in their minds they see truth as a challenge.
Corruption and lies may seem all that can ever be.
Their echoes resound and feed them lies from the money.
Will they, within, break free just to see how the world can be?
Oh, what a world they'd see if they crossed that divide in the line!
Oh, what a world they'd see if they crossed that divide in the line!
Oh, what a world they'd see if they crossed that divide in the line!
Oh, what a world they'd see if they crossed that divide in the line!

Summer's Green

Summer's green has made you seem
as superficial as you are bright.
Springtime's yellow made you shine
before the curtain called your time.
Autumn brown turns you down
to leave you in the dirt underground
--
All your grey has gone away,
turned to white overnight.
Winter's white has made it right
by simply covering up the sight.

Eleanor

We might leave but we'll return,
you needn't feel that you've been spurned.
Look around you and remember you are home.
When the night is yours alone,
can you see this is your home?
We wouldn't trap you here together with your fears, Eleanor.
Thunder rolls along the halls
trampling peace and placid falls.
You'll sick your demons on the rest of us so soon, Eleanor.
Free of demons of the air,
your isolation without care
is now disrupted by the ones who love you so, Eleanor.
Eleanor Rigby, you'll be dancing on the graves
of those who hated you and made you misbehave.
Eleanor Rigby, keep your fire burning bright,
we'll see you in the stars of every cloudy night.
--
They will see you and you'll know
the hope and love that they may sow
and you will cower your soul forevermore, Eleanor.
Oh someday you will be gone,
you'll disappear into beyond,
work it out forever. And you'll have to let us know, Eleanor!

The Unstoppable Force

Destroy that town
and then we'll talk about it, love, talk about it, and
Destroy that field
and then we'll talk about it, love, talk about it
Hours equal dollars and wood is no match for steel.
We're taking what's ours and building a better wheel.
Destroy that mountain
and we'll talk about it, love, talk about it, and
Destroy that river
and then we'll talk about it, love, talk about it
Hours equal dollars and customers know that's real.
Hours equal dollars and wood is no match for steel.
We're taking what's ours and building a better wheel.

100 Seconds to Midnight

He puts a penny on the clock.
Hours drift by until it's time.
Until the day is done
and whatever may come ... come.
Midnight is coming twenty seconds
sooner than we'd like.
And winter's close behind.
A winter for all time ... time.

Live Forever
01:31
|
|||
|
We could live forever, if we gave a damn at all.
If we learned from when we'd fall, then we could go on and on.
Let's start listening before the future turns to stone.
Take out the rainbow and pile up the bones.
I know summer's gone, but winter's not the end.
We can weather anything if we stop playing pretend.
If we learned from when we'd fall, then we could go on and on.

Follow the Rain
03:38
|

|
My heart is feeling pain
the fire's burning hotter
but the light is coming oh so slow
I feel they're quite insane
to clear the way for the others
to keep the robots in denial of what they're owed
Our documents ablaze
and the world is on trial
and the judgement is a reflection of what we know
I'll follow the rain
I'll follow the rain
I'll wander in the dark
with my eyes on the moon
I will follow the rain to get back home
I'm collapsing into hate
My head is full of fire
from the dreams and desires that they stole
I'll follow the rain
I'll follow the rain
(rain rain go away come again another day)
I'd follow the sun, but I can't.
Clouds obscure the view from the land.
After the rain we can make new plans.
I'll chase the rain any day.
I'm waiting for the rain
to wash away them all
yeah, I'll follow the rain and I'll be whole
I'll follow the rain
I'll follow the rain
I'll follow the rain
I'll follow the rain

On the Outside
02:41
|

|
The air and the sea and their toxicity are keeping us from being what we are.
The land and the trees and the birds and the bees are showing that no change is too hard
we've been taking everything, we've been taking it all too long
(a little of this, a little of that, a little of this, you're dead)
(take take ...)
take a long look, enjoy it before it's gone
we need to take a long look, and see that we were wrong
(a little of this, a little of that, a little of this, you're dead)
(take take ...)
the more that we try, the more that we bite the hand that feeds our own.
exit the cave and look at the sky at everything under the sun
(everything everything)

Rain rain go away come again another day
Little Johnny wants to play when the rain goes away
Rain rain go away come again another day
Little Donald wants to play when the rain goes away
Little Mikey wants to play when the rain goes away
Little Joey wants to play when the rain goes away
Little Johnny wants to play when the rain goes away
Little Donald wants to play when the rain goes away

You Can Get It
03:48
|

The clock strikes twelve and you've been hurting.
Wander up the street to find your friends and fix.
Behind your smile, you've gone vacant.
It's too hard to think it's not the end.
There's nothing stronger than a real fixation
Nothing stopping you from feeling up.
They can take away your favorite poison
but you can get it
you can get it
you can get it if you try
The clock strikes eight and now you're searching
on down the street to find a friend to mend.
Behind your tears, you've lost your reason.
It's too hard to think about the end.
There's nothing stronger than a real obsession
there's nothing stopping you from feeling up
they can take away your favorite poison
but you can get it
you can get it
you can get it if you try
There's nothing stronger than a real addiction
nothing stopping you from feeling up
they can take away your favorite poison
but you can get it
you can get it
you can get it if you try

The Wait for Thwaites
04:14
|
|||
|
Things aren't looking better
and I still feel the same
In any kind of weather,
the seas will seal our fate
And what follows
it always follows.
And what follows
follows.
All around us, waters rise from the southern seas
All our islands sinking under the southern seas
2 inches every decade
are slipping away from us
for lies that inspire us greatly
for lies that we can trust
All the lies that melt the ice into the southern seas
All those lies there are sinking under the southern seas
Lies that give us structure
Lies that sink our boats
Lies that excite the markets
Lies that are set in stone
And what follows?
It always follows.
And what follows
follows.
All around us, waters rise from the southern seas
All those lies there are sinking under the southern seas.
Thwaites glacier is coming down!
Thwaites glacier is coming down!
