| Caught up in the daily forecasts, basking in the sun
|
| Oh, how it hurt to squint at decades still to come
|
| While the blaring television boasted of our skill
|
| The imminence, it gripped you early on
|
| Fearful child
|
| You’d lie awake at night
|
| In bleak envisioning, visioning
|
| A prophet’s end
|
| Through a heretic lens
|
| Nobody listening, listening
|
| Every blackened night
|
| Every temperature rise
|
| We are the fire
|
| We give off light
|
| By the time we could admit we’d foreseen the effects
|
| You’d spent a lifetime mapping outlooks of the wreck
|
| Drink it down, cough it up
|
| Torrid air fills your lungs
|
| If not the best that’s left, what’s left is left for us
|
| Circling high
|
| Above the rising tide
|
| It seemed so out of reach, out of reach
|
| The clouds that rise
|
| Up through a darkened sky
|
| Warm from the air we breathe, air we breathe
|
| Every blackened night
|
| Every temperature rise
|
| We are the fire
|
| We give off light
|
| And every faded hope
|
| Every hallowed divide
|
| We are the air
|
| The ardent denial
|
| Every blackened night
|
| Every blackened night
|
| Every temperature rise
|
| We are the fire
|
| We give off light
|
| And every faded hope
|
| Every hallowed divide
|
| We are the air
|
| The ardent denial
|
| Every blackened night
|
| Everywhere you walk, there’s a dark cloud forming
|
| Even where you are, it’s a perfect storm and
|
| Everywhere you walk, there’s a dark cloud forming
|
| Even where you are, even where you are |
