Lyrics Temporarily - Telethon

Temporarily

Temporarily
We misplaced our rationality
Heard from some channel that we’re going extinct
Locked eyes with the others, and started to think
About the way it’s all gone, and the way that it goes
Seemed strangely familiar
A likely scenario
Temporarily!
Cut ties with the old mundanity!
Maybe even embraced;
praised the careful design
All hail the countdown to untimely demise
Relief from the strains of our uncomfortable lives
Detachment, ‘shit happens' as the rallying cry
And who can blame us?
No one’ll save us
Turns out our contributions were all meaningless
Sucks to go before we planned, but being here has been a drag
In summative retrospect, if we can use that term yet
Good riddance to our cold mother earth
And her axial rotation (which apparently we’re not worth)
Oh!
Here’s to the good times, here’s to the home team
Pour one out now, or hold your peace for eternity
Temporarily
Out the window goes a sense of sanity
Amazing how quickly a culture so strictly
Invested in reason, finding feasible
Workarounds gave into the latter half of
‘Get busy living, or get busy dying'
