lyrics

stay here with me
at the end of the Holocene
tell me why we only dream American Dreams
When our house is on fire
it's starting to feel obscene

I can't breath in
There's a change coming in the wind
I feel it blowing cold through the cracks in my mind
creeping quietly into the pleasures of my private life

I can't sell you on some reckless blind faith
but maybe we can learn to live and die with grace
I can't tell you it will be okay
but maybe we can learn to live and die with grace

I want to be free
to say and be nothing
I hear the silences fill up the space between us
and feel the solitude of this ocean of concrete and rust

what will the kids make of us?
would they say we did enough?
when we heard a whisper of thunder roll in from the shores
why did we wait for the the flood to be crashing outside our door?
