Riptide

Answer's in the water
No it's no accident there be dragons far beyond what we see
Consequences feel as though they're fiction
Think about the power of an earthquake or a rogue tsunami
The ocean welcomes us back with open arms
Bearing riptides as its teeth
Sublimation sweeping cross the nation
Nature quells humanity

Winds keep getting faster
Are we the victims or the cause of disaster
Tearing through what's left of the atmosphere
We should have listened to the weather forecasters
Begging for a lenient master
The climate's come to send society backwards
Fearing what is coming up after
I hear the hurricane's evil laughter

I've got a little secret
You're gonna need to keep it
Jointly we hold the key
And if you've gotta see it
Or else you won't believe it
Just put your faith in me

Sick and tired of only listening to the other side
Of any other conversation that you ever have in mind
Our planet's dying
Problems multiplying
We've got the calling of our life to save the ecosystems time
Its time to blaze or triumph

We've got nothing to worry about
It's cold in the winter
Please take your anxious whistle-blowing elsewhere

Birds, and bees, and plants and trees
Are falling down now
Can't ya see we've done a number with our idiocy
Herds of swine, a calf bovine we're pumping out and
Suddenly our sky's got lots of toxic air to breathe
We've got nothing to worry about
Our fate's predetermined
Sit back and watch us fade into extinction

Winds keep getting faster
Are we the victims or the cause of disaster
Tearing through what's left of the atmosphere
We should have listened to the weather forecasters
Begging for a lenient master
The climate's come to send society backwards
Fearing what is coming up after
I hear the hurricane's evil laughter

Eye of the storm comes along
We'll never get what we want
Forget the storm's where you are
And you'll end up right back at the start

Faster while the winds keep picking up
Can't help but wonder at the question
Who's to blame for this disaster
Does it even matter
When the victims and the master are the same
I start to ponder should we really be complaining at all

Take back everything that you thought was a better route
There's nothing but a big stain beneath my wings
If my home habitat's destroyed, what becomes of your life
Did you get a new heart
Cause your old one failed to start
Was it worth tearing my lifestyle apart

Fill your head with thoughts and prayers
Living every single day
Staving off your fears
No its not too elegant
Using borrowed years
To do nothing but ensure that the future lives are scared
Taking all that we can out of mother earth
Dig the dead from the ground just to make a quick cent
For people so obsessed with the precedent
You'd think we take some time to see the asteroid right above our head
Bearing down real quick on the pedal to finish
Do we save our life or pass it off all to the kids
Look 'em right in the eye
Say yeah I know what we did
But by the time it gets real bad I think I'll be dead
Talk a big game 'bout how the love never ends
While we keep passing the planet
Hoping not to end up stuck with the bag
I'm getting sick of it
That's all that we hear
Say you're mad
Get attention
Grab the cash
Disappear

We've got nothing to worry about
It's cold in the winter
Please take your anxious whistle-blowing elsewhere

Winds keep getting faster
Are we the victims or the cause of disaster
Tearing through what's left of the atmosphere
We should have listened to the weather forecasters
Begging for a lenient master
The climate's come to send society backwards
Fearing what is coming up after
I hear the hurricane's evil laughter
