The Shape of Things to Come

Shape of things to come
Shape of things to come

Standing on a window ledge
Balanced on a razor's edge
Shape of things to come

No-one there to catch our fall
No-one there to save us all
Shape of things to come

We can't stop the oceans on the rise
Lunatics unleashed on every side
Too late for questions
Too late for answers
We lost the chances to decide

Shape of things to come
Shape of things to come

Tipping points and feedback loops
Sitting here like King Canute
Shape of things to come

Headlong to the end of days
Too late to change our ways
Shape of things to come

Say that this was never in your name
Say you've done enough and walk away
There's no solution
No absolution
Everybody's silence is to blame

Shape of things to come
Shape of things to come

I want you to panic
I want you to feel the fear I feel every day
I want you act as if the house is on fire
Because it is

Shape of things to come

Past the point of no return
Sit and watch our houses burn
Shape of things to come

Drowning in the ship we wrecked
We put the noose around our neck
Shape of things to come

For all the gods and all the wars
We're all the future dinosaurs
Shape of things to come

Without a hope without a thought
We disconnect the life support
