More Than This

Running out of time stuck in the past on the same loop
Eating popcorn watching the world die on the news
Running out of time treating a gunshot with a bandaid
What's gonna be left to save

When we run our of air to breathe
When there's no water left to drink
When hell opens and swallows us whole
All the money won't buy us a soul
We run from fires that continue to burn
Homelessness dependent on what I earn
There's a value placed on a life
We're worth the same dead or alive

If you stop you're expendable
Designed to never stop

As we consume we seal our doom
Something more than this
The ethics of putting us above
Something more than this
We need to change what we became
Something more than this
We light the match then we start from scratch
Something more than this

Running out of time every day we do the same thing
Bury our heads in the sand as our beaches shrink
Running out of time we talk big but nothing has changed
What's gonna be left to save

Head first blinded by our own greed
Nothing matters beyond what we see
Short term only thinking of today
Fuck tomorrow when you already have everything
Jump first never look or think twice
If not you someone else will comply
Destroy anything in the way
Entitled to a lifestyle we maintain

If you stop you're expendable
Designed to never stop

As we consume we seal our doom
Something more than this
The ethics of putting us above
Something more than this
We need to change what we became
Something more than this
We light the match then we start from scratch
Something more than this

The waves keep crashing at our feet
While this world bleeds
We will rotate around the sun
After we're gone

This world's alive
This heartbeat survives
This world's alive
It can be revived
