Reason

I don’t think that I can even find a good
reason left for you
to get so ecstatic
I don’t think that I could even find a believer
in the truth
because it’s just so tragic
and the temperature’s higher from all of the
fires we grew
and the ocean is risin’ in spite of the water we
drew (it’s true)
the whole world’s getting even
puttin up a fight
we all just caught a fever
in the middle of the night
that made us sarcastic
only able to complain
can we listen to reason
listen to reason
before we drift
I don’t think that I can for a second believe
what’s on the news
because it’s just pure fabric
ain’t even a question of how we perceive
which path to choose
cause it’s gonna take some magic
and the temperature’s higher from all of the
fires we grew
and the ocean is risin’ in spite of the water we
drew
it’s like the whole world’s getting even
puttin up a fight
like the whole world caught a fever
in the middle of the night
that made us sarcastic
only able to complain
can we listen to reason
listen to reason
before we drift
through the abyss
can we still correct what we’re doing wrong
the ocean’s full of plastic
so show some compassion
can we still direct what has yet to come
it’s like the whole world’s getting even
puttin up a fight
like the whole world caught a fever
in the middle of the night
that made us sarcastic
and only able to complain
can we listen to reason
listen to reason
before we drift
It’s like the whole world’s getting even
puttin up a fight
like the whole world caught a fever
in the middle of the night
that made us sarcastic
and only able to complain
can we listen to reason
listen to reason
before we drift

Falling to Earth

their cunning betrayal
paid under the table
all willing and able
how can we escape it?
can’t run from the danger
don’t have to be strangers
stop grieving in stages
I’m cutting the cable
so stuck in the matrix
it’s what we created
now so inundated
it’s all there for the taking
the surface is breaking
we’re getting impatient
start making the changes
start making the change
stop waiting for angels
cause it’s starting to look
like they’re falling to earth (oh yeah)
just for our entertainment
things we value and love
start to fade into dust
(stop waiting for angels)
dogs off to the races
no way to sustain this
so mad and frustrated
we need to awaken
already forsaken
don’t rattle the cages
the uneducated
so opinionated
so stuck in the matrix
it’s what we created
now so inundated
it’s all there for the taking
the surface is breaking
we’re getting impatient
start making the changes
start making the change
stop waiting for angels
cause it’s starting to look
like they’re falling to earth (oh yeah)
just for our entertainment
things we value and love
start to fade into dust
(stop waiting for angels)
cause it’s starting to look
like they’re falling to earth (oh yeah)
stop waiting for angels
cause it’s starting to look
like they’re falling to earth (oh yeah)
just for our entertainment
things we value and love
start to fade into dust (oh yeah)

Dream Final
03:20

I don’t know if I can say for sure
If I think that we can save the world
Only lesson that we need to learn
Is how to begin
Now we’re living in a crazy time
Like a prison for our peace of mind
Has it all just been a race to find
The start of the end
So don’t worry bout your dream job
Just let it be a reminder
To forget about the years you lost
Betting on your dream final
I know it’s gotta be hard
But don’t let it kill your desire
Don’t worry it won’t be too long
You’re still headed for your dream final
Headed for your dream-dream, dream-
dream
Headed for your dream-dream, dream-
dream
Headed for your dream-dream, dream-
dream
You’re still headed for your dream final
Summer fires start to blaze away
So we’re coolin in the hazy shade
Can’t just let all of this greed and hate
Get under our skin
So don’t worry bout your dream job
Just let it be a reminder
To forget about the years you lost
Betting on your dream final
I know it’s gotta be hard
But don’t let it kill your desire
Don’t worry it won’t be too long
You’re still headed for your dream final
It goes on, it goes on, it goes on, it goes
on
at our pleasure
we were wrong for so long and we gave
it no thought
whatsoever
So don’t worry bout your dream job
Just let it be a reminder
To forget about the years you lost
Betting on your dream final
I know it’s gotta be hard
But don’t let it kill your desire
Don’t worry it won’t be too long
You’re still headed for your dream final
Headed for your dream-dream, dream-
dream
Headed for your dream-dream, dream-
dream
Headed for your dream-dream, dream-
dream
You’re still headed for your dream final

Love's a Fire

I just wanna be your number one
be your happy ever after
every revolution round the sun
should be full of joy and laughter
I just want a smile upon your face
when we wake up in the morning
as we navigate through time and space
I’m gonna savour every moment
I don’t ever want to stop believing
in a better, brighter future,
focus on the things that are redeeming
havin love as a renewer
baby, I just wanna make the best
of every situation
hey yeah, yeah hey yeah
Our love’s a fire
burning through everything
together, we will never grow tired, baby
if we remember this
Our love’s a fire
burning through everything
together, we will never grow tired, baby
if we remember this
I just want a place that’s ours alone
maybe even start a family
gonna take a fortune just to own
and the grind is so demanding
probably gonna have to leave Van City
and get us out from under
place is getting way too unforgiving
and it’s losing all it’s wonder
I don’t ever want to stop believing
in a better, brighter future,
focus on the things that are redeeming
with love as a renewer
baby, I just wanna make the best
of every situation
hey yeah, yeah hey yeah
Our love’s a fire
burning through everything
together, we will never grow tired, baby
if we remember this
Our love’s a fire
it’s burning through everything
together, we will never grow tired, baby
if we remember this

Atlantis

listen to me
wake from your sleep
turn on the sirens
immediately
this isn’t a dream
it’s on every screen
we’re at the feet of a tyrant
it’s easy to see
this isn’t routine
between you and me
we got the event horizon
approaching at speed
how can this be?
it’s hard to believe
we can’t remain silent
become obsolete
come back to me
sweet liberty
united state of denial
caught in a spiral
everybody found out by now
so you’re never gonna ever bow down
can’t be living down on your knees
cause your never gonna ever be free
this is insane
you gotta go green
change all our wiring
forget gasoline
the sickness is deep
I need an E.V
let us be free
from this disease
