lyrics

Here we go again, losing hope with all our friends
Disaster strikes every other wicked minute
Violent haiku streaming by our tired eyelids
Need a hard refresh, even though we don’t deserve it

The problem is the solution
Savior of our creation
Mother nature, I’m begging don’t delay

So bring on the ocean, flood all the streets
Bring on the fire, let it burn every goddamn thing
Let the fish and the insects take over the plan
You know they’ve got a much better chance than we have
To reach the promise land

Here we go again, fighting the same stubborn incidents
Deteriorating on our way to a bleaker oblivion
On paper it’s bad, on the pavement it’s even worse than that
Need a hard refresh, even though we don’t deserve it

Is it our nature to self destruct?
Either way, that’s the ending we have wrought

So bring on the ocean, flood all the streets
Bring on the fire, let it burn every goddamn thing
Let the fish and the insects take over the plan
You know they’ve got a much better chance than we have
To reach the promise land

When all is lost and hope is gone
When you’ve screamed so much
You can’t even breathe anymore
Just hold on
It won’t be long
And we all can drown together
It’ll be fun!
