lyrics

The other day I heard you say
You don’t want to be living
You don’t want to be dead
that’s what you said.

Let’s explore that a little
I think about it a lot
How warm meat becomes a deli cut,
how life is an assembly line -
we’re processed and packaged
and end up past our prime

The forests are burning
in the cities it’s floods
two years since you’ve seen your friends
Watching the start of the end
Your planet, your country
Your family, the cracks that won’t mend

I don’t believe
in Hell or Heaven
I’ve got a feeling
that this is it
It’s up to us
To make some meaning
That’s how it’s seeming
from where I sit

cause otherwise, I don’t know,
then god and the devil are the same
One takes your time, one leaves you breathless.
