Lyrics
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 the 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 many 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
And this is how it feels to fall apart
Yeah, this is how it feels to fall apart
Couldn't you see it?
It was shoved in your face
The answers are waiting
Yeah, they finally came
A product of fear
But the product failed
Started by the obvious
Not a moment to spare
