Real-Time Collapse
What have we got here? Just the latest massacre
Turn it off, the news ain't nothing but the blues
After a lifetime of being desensitized
I long to feel
To feel something
Come and gone, the days of my curious innocence
Swiftly replaced by the jaded reflections of age
I lose myself in pursuit of the permanent
I long to wake
I got a thousand reasons why
We gotta build a better life
I can't hide inside my mind
And lose what's given
Most of us won't realize this shit is happening
Until it's too late and fascism closes the gate
Our only hope is for people to recognize
Our past mistakes
Before we seal our fate
I got a thousand reasons why
We gotta build a better life
I can't hide behind these lines
And lose what's given
You and me, we could be so beautiful
If we could just break our chains
I got a thousand reasons why
We gotta build a better life
I can't hide behind these lines
And lose what's been given
Turn it off, the news ain't nothing but the blues
After a lifetime of being desensitized
I long to feel
To feel something
Come and gone, the days of my curious innocence
Swiftly replaced by the jaded reflections of age
I lose myself in pursuit of the permanent
I long to wake
I got a thousand reasons why
We gotta build a better life
I can't hide inside my mind
And lose what's given
Most of us won't realize this shit is happening
Until it's too late and fascism closes the gate
Our only hope is for people to recognize
Our past mistakes
Before we seal our fate
I got a thousand reasons why
We gotta build a better life
I can't hide behind these lines
And lose what's given
You and me, we could be so beautiful
If we could just break our chains
I got a thousand reasons why
We gotta build a better life
I can't hide behind these lines
And lose what's been given
