Startled by the Obvious |
| If we’re all going to drown |
| Then it could be today |
| But I can’t promise anything |
| As it all crashes down |
| Please |
| Let me feel this way forever |
| Stuck here, forever |
| With the end drawing near |
| We’re still making lists |
| Still filling up |
| Still marking down all |
| To keep track of our emptiness |
| Held high |
| Keep me high |
| Get me to the finish line |
| To rest for the rest of everything |
| This is how it happens |
| This is how it slips away |
| This is how the compromise |
| Becomes a way of life |
| Too much to see |
| Too much to taste |
| Too much disease |
| Too much to face |
| Too much decline |
| Too much mistake |
| Too much undone |
| Too much at stake |
| Too much the same |
| Too much to hide |
| Too much too late |
| Too many seconds slipping by |
| Too many systems gone awry |
| The easy out |
| I want it all and I want it now |
| This is how it happens |
| This is how it slips away |
| This is how the compromise |
| Becomes a way of life |
| Couldn’t you see it? |
| It was shoved in your face |
| The answers are waiting |
| They finally came |
| A product of fear |
| But the product failed |
| Startled by the obvious |
| Not a moment to spare |
