The Same Time

A story of survivors either side of the thunder plain
Mind occupied from the strains of these hunger pains
Last meal a week ago, several months since any rain
Dust in the air, grains of sand fill the drain (Still the pain)
Still the pain in his stomach and it doesn't change
Outside the crops shriveled up, dying just the same
Change in the climate of, the region that was monitored
Everything drying up, rivers and the aquifers
The hot air rises then it cools in the stratosphere
Storms rolling in as her eyes watch the shadows near
Levees failed, offering the water that's unwanted
Falling from the sky simply adding to the problem
Sandbags submerged on the ground where they stay
Above that, any trace of life washed away
Driven through disaster, they took it all and gave it
Consequence of elements absent moderation, at the same time

Looking forward so we're never falling back
Always unexpected when these opposites attract
A circular existence riding on this carousel
Life comes and goes, saying farewells in parallel
Fighting for a balance made us calm under pressure
Things fall apart yet we're strong from our efforts
Snapshots, never could remain just the same
The only thing that's constant in our lives is the change

A story of survivors either side of running code
Non-binary but they work in 1s and 0s
Pronouns aside, their profession was their pride
Leveraging this tech in a way that would surprise
Efficiency in overdrive, everything is optimized
Lowered costs, made it, now the product changing all our lives
Innovative ways on display made it major
Safety numbers raised, but eliminated labor
The unseen effect. Cause: Run a silent maze
What started as a drop had become a giant wave
Father to his children and a dedicated husband
A factory worker but his job was made redundant
Disrupted, now he's unemployed and with no plan
Stranded in the past, learned that time waits for no man
Fact of every life, regardless if you're on the fence
Everything's connected, every action has a consequence

Steady looking forward so we're never falling back
Always unexpected when these opposites attract
A circular existence riding on this carousel
Life comes and goes, saying farewells in parallel
Fighting for a balance made us calm under pressure
Things fall apart yet we're strong from our efforts
Snapshots, never could remain just the same
The only thing that's constant in our lives is the change

So we're nev-nev-never falling back
At the same time
Always unexpected when these opposites attract
At the same time, at the same time
Riding on this, riding, riding on this carousel
At the same time, at the same time
Life comes and goes, saying farewells in parallel
At the same time, at the same time, at the same time

At the same time, at the same time
At the same time, at the same time
At the same time, at the same time
