Testo di The Orphaning

Storm and sea Punish us piece by piece But world economy must grow If we drown, we drown in luxury Why should we save lives we'll never meet? Why should we not destroy? ...ourselves We're dancing to the end on volcanoes Screaming pantomimes in our ears At night, we set our beds ablaze Orphaning the future - orphaning ourselves The change we cause Will slowly destroy your tiny world And you have nothing to stay You're helpless Consumed Why should we save lives we'll never meet? Why should we not destroy ourselves? Nearea The Escape From Escapism I have been thinking the wrong thoughts Misread the signs Walking on false paths I misjudged life I was chanting the wrong songs Too deaf to hear Playing nostalgic tunes Anywhere, but here You can't get the right answers When you're asking the wrong questions Following familiar tracks Is seldom the best Strength is not how high you can climb But how you cope when you bounce We are all in the gutter But some of us are looking at the stars Don't let the past Reign you forever
