lyrics
Lyrics:
Energy shift pulling us back, don’t know if this means we can’t relax,
All I can do is hole away, not listening to what any others say
Slipping away from this known life, moving pieces around so they can survive
Forgetting to care for everybody else, they’re taking a ride on the carousel
I know it’s bigger than this, we’ve gotta figure it is, so I’m picturing this as the last time
They’re giving us a sign, to know we’ve broken stride and things just can’t go back to being yours and mine
But I know we can survive
too much at stake, we can’t let this slide
It’s so much more than being brave
We’ve got a lot to save, can’t you see we’re in a tidal wave? Can’t you see we’re in a tidal wave?
The time we’re living in is vital, this ain’t a rehearsal man this shit is a recital
Like American Idol center stage as we turn the page, so many kids left inside of cages
Parents cry while their babies die, we all sigh and then it’s over, why?
Desensitized to the franchised words of the wise inside of Facebook, post disguised, but if we really wanna see the world change for the better, to the letter, spend a little less negative energy, positivity’s withering
Inner beauty is slithering by the wayside, can’t hide, someone is listening
To the cries of the angry, hurt mangled and down in the dirt,
Torn shirt becoming nervous and proud
Get loud and be mad and you wanna be heard, think forward even if it’s absurd
But I know we can survive
too much at stake, we can’t let this slide
It’s so much more than being brave
We’ve got a lot to save, can’t you see we’re in a tidal wave? Can’t you see we’re in a tidal wave?
Can you feel it
Feel it rising
Taking over
Its wiping us out
Can you feel it
Feel it rising
Taking over
But I know we can survive
too much at stake, we can’t let this slide
It’s so much more than being brave
We’ve got a lot to save, can’t you see we’re in a tidal wave? Can’t you see we’re in a tidal wave?
