[00:08.288]It’s coming to pass, my countries coming apart
[00:13.179]The whole thing’s becoming such a bumbling farce
[00:18.128]Was that a pivotal historical moment we just went stumbling past?
[00:23.324]Well, here we are, dancing in the rumbling dark
[00:26.864]So come a little closer, give me something to grasp
[00:31.321]Give me your beautiful, crumbling heart
[00:35.622]Another disaster, catharsis
[00:37.831]Another half-discarded mirage
[00:39.784]Another mask slips
[00:42.218]I face off with the physical
[00:44.964]My head’s ringing from the love of the stars
[00:49.347]There is too much pretense here
[00:53.394]Too much depends on the fragile wages
[00:56.582]And extortionate rents here
[00:58.832]We’re working every dread day that is given us
[01:03.565]Feeling like the person people meet really isn’t us
[01:07.137]Like we’re gonna buckle underneath the trouble
[01:09.505]Like any minute now, the struggle’s going to finish us
[01:13.588]And then we smile at all our friends
[01:19.031]It’s hard, we got our heads down and our hackles up
[01:23.197]Our backs against the wall, I can feel you aching
[01:27.385]None of this was written in stone
[01:29.491]There is nothing we’re forbidden to know
[01:32.407]And I can feel things changing
[01:35.418]Even when I’m weak and I’m breaking
[01:37.702]I’ll stand weeping at the train station
[01:40.479]‘Cause I can see your faces
[01:46.220]There is so much peace to be found in people’s faces
[02:00.276]I saw it roaring
[02:03.236]I felt it clawing at my clothes like a grieving friend
[02:07.554]It said there are no new beginnings
[02:11.332]Until everybody sees that the old ways need to end
[02:15.333]But it’s hard to accept that we’re all one and the same flesh
[02:19.046]Given the rampant divisions between oppressor and oppressed
[02:22.760]But we are, though
[02:23.951]More empathy, less greed, more respect
[02:30.838]All I’ve got to say has already been said
[02:34.077]I mean, you heard it from yourself
[02:35.769]When you were lying in your bed and couldn’t sleep
[02:38.207]Thinking, "Couldn’t we be doing this differently?"
[02:43.151]I’m listening to every little whisper in the distance singing hymns
[02:47.512]And I can, I can feel things changing
[02:53.156]But it’s so hard, we got our heads down and our hackles up
[02:58.183]Our backs against the wall, I can feel your heart racing
[03:02.529]None of this was written in stone
[03:04.364]The currents fast, but the river moves slow
[03:07.712]And I can feel things changing
[03:10.179]Even when I’m weak and I’m breakin'
[03:12.503]I stand weeping at the train station
[03:15.107]‘Cause I can see your faces
[03:20.583]There is so much peace to be found in people’s faces
[03:34.190]It’s not enough
[03:36.240]To imagine we’ll be happy when we’ve got enough stuff
[03:40.201]All this stuff is blocking us
[03:43.899]I’m neat with no chaser
[03:45.935]I’m all spirit, but I’m sinking
[03:49.336]'Cause the days are not days but strange symptoms
[03:53.284]And this age is our age
[03:56.222]But our age is rage sinking to beige
[03:59.750]And yes, our children are brave
[04:02.006]But their mission is vague
[04:04.476]Now I don’t have the answers
[04:07.674]But there are still things to say
[04:09.551]I stare out at my city on another difficult day
[04:12.790]And I scream inwardly, "When will this change?"
[04:16.423]I’m beginning to fade
[04:18.265]But my sanity’s saved ‘cause I can see your faces
[04:22.404]My sanity’s saved ‘cause I can see your faces
[04:28.439]It’s hard, we got our heads down and our hackles up
[04:32.163]Our backs against the wall, I can feel your heart racing
[04:36.240]None of this was written in stone
[04:38.409]The current’s fast but the river moves slow
[04:41.399]And I can feel things changing
[04:43.746]Even when I’m weak and I’m breaking
[04:46.287]I stand weeping at the train station
[04:48.999]‘Cause I can see your faces
[04:56.146]I love people’s faces
