Moment We Need
05:38
|

Something forgotten of the core
See withered life wash up at your door
For some the clouds never seem to part
With grace that can take on any shape
She nurtures through the day
Signals of her ancient web so jumbled
Usurp the animating breath of our tomorrow
Begging a beggar to pay back
the fortune that he’s borrowed
Oh, can somebody hear me?
I hope that someone out there can understand
Right now I need a helping hand
Feels her back against the back
Waiting for a clarion call
To cut through the lulling, glamorous din
The toxic waste has spilled its paint
through every scene of her every day
The basis of life left shivering in the corner
Can we not see the back room’s sacrificial altar?
Crowning our greed while turning
Our mother into a martyr
Oh, can somebody hear me?
I hope that someone out there can understand
Right now I need a helping hand
The moment you need the most
See the chips roll on in
Maybe learn from our mistakes
Maybe flood, fires, and earthquakes
Either way time is running out, ooh
I know that you can hear me,
I hope that everyone will understand
Right now I need a helping hand
Oh, my body’s blistering and I don’t
Know how much more that I can stand
So right now I need a helping hand
Right now I need a…
The moment you need the most
Is the moment we need
The moment we need the most
Is the moment you need
The moment you need the most
Is the moment we need
The moment we need the most
Is the moment you need
Can you hear me, yeah?
I hope you can hear me
I hope you can hear me, yeah

Feel it All
05:05
|

I’m sorry for the blind eye I have cast
Chasing rainbows through the ashes
Of a long and bitter past
I was waiting for the world
To accept me as I am
Now I’m struggling how to accept
Where we’re going to land
I love it how the trees reach for the sky
And the geese along the pathway eat
And let me pass them by
But the rug beneath these wonders
Of the world keep getting pulled
Are they struggling how to accept
Where they’re going to?
I don’t want to wait
For a tragedy to bring my gaze
To where it needs to be
A million digital displays
But the wound is already open
So why not feel it all?
Standing at the pump and feelin’
Like I’ve got this blood on my hands
Just living life the way we understand
A tank of petro
The cost is so much more
Than any wallet can hold
I want to live
With a broken heart
But this distraction
Keeps pulling me
Pulling me
From who I am meant to be
End of the rainbow
Its color flashes
From within the ashes
I don’t want to wait
For a tragedy to bring my gaze
To where it needs to be
A million digital displays
But the wound is already open
The cries are trying to get in
They’re begging me to thin my skin
And feel
It all...

Turn Back
06:40
|
|||
Multiplying now our indecision
Trying to forget of this collision
Drills and leasing
Stocks increasing
Every time I look the other way
Another bandit’s come to seize the day
And selling pipe dreams
Crude with bright sheen
Down
Keep it down
Screaming sound
In the ground
Phantoms unleashed
Covering our new world
Fragments of life
Our Holocene left here to unravel
Yeah..
Dissociation’s shadows awaken
Take on a life of their own
But so do those willing
To wake to the feeling
Of losing our only home
Up
Interrupt
Truths abrupt
Turn it up
Spirits unleashed
Honoring a faded world
Restoring life
Anthropocene for us to dismantle
Oh, last night it rained
And it cleared the ashes from the sky
But this still feels like home
Even as we go into the unknown
Before we are lost for good
Let’s witness this ‘til it’s understood
Our facades are crumbling through and through
I have something to ask of you
Can you say it just for once
Say it just for once
We are mistaken?
Can you say it just for once
Say it just for once
Our ship is sinkin’?
And I do not wish vengeance on you
We’re all part of the problem, too
But before our last chance is through
I have something to ask of you
Can you say it just for once
Say it just for once
We’re on the wrong track?
Can you say it just for once
Say it just for once
We’d better turn back?
Turn back, oh
Turn back
Oh, ooh, yeah, oh

By a Thread
04:56

By a thread
She scales a wall nine miles tall
They built on children’s beds
While fixing jam and bread
Hanging by a thread
She climbs up
To help us through the night
To sunrise
All her moves
Impeccable as raven calls
And spacecraft orbits, too
Grateful that she knew
What we need to do
To rise up
And make it through the nights
With bright eyes
Jet set cabal flights of fancy
Never fail to make her antsy
Precise angles
Unminced words
Nimble as a hummingbird
By a thread
She builds a hall for one and all
To dream the world anew
Grateful that she flew
On fancies pure and true
To rise up
We’ll rise up
By a magically woven thread
Hanging by a thread..

Wishing Well
05:44
|

Direction of her fate
Keeps slipping through my hands
Reverberating pain
With everyone who understands
The mystery
Her memory
Surviving all this violence
It brings me to my knees
And sighing in her defense
Could the bull fall to tears
To see something so beautiful?
And let us grab a broom
To sweep the shards upon the floor?
As far as you’ve gone
Still isn’t too late
You know we all make mistakes
Wishing well
Break this spell
So time won’t tell
For us
The caption
Inaction
Lose traction
Reaction
The dawning
Responding
Informing
The longing
Could the bull wake from dream
And hear his deafening noise?
And let us whisper away
The golden chain of all his ploys?
As far as we’ve gone
Might not be too late
To put an end to this mistake
The depths inside
Hold more than
Anyone’s come to expect from you
So let the coin settle
Into the pool
And shine, ooh
(Dance with me)
Wishing well
Break this spell
So time won’t tell
For us, yeah
Wishing well
Break this spell
So time won’t tell
For us
Oh, ooh

Warning Signs
04:28
|
|||
Hot wind
Wrong time
Steamrollin’ towards midnight
It doesn’t have to come
But can we heed the signs?
Slow breath
Clear sky
Offer up my inside
Show us how to help
And turn the tide
Mother Nature’s son
Broke down on the run
Turning back to join
The fight
Night falls
Deep sleep
Intentions our souls keep
Help us to wake up
Before the time
We’ve past all
The warning signs
Mother Nature’s daughter
Stands beside the water
Tryin' to turn us back
From midnight
Last call
Climb steep
Harness what our souls keep
Actions and our thoughts
All aligned
Slow breath
With the warning
Warning signs, ooh

Yo Jason I got you..
Graphic Grim in the building..
Don’t forget your parachute
(laughs)
Far from the best spot to jump
Fuel low, it’s time to get off
Miles of sky beneath
And sky above
Hands of those in line
Give me a shove
I guess I could be thrilled by this descent
But our landing gear’s never been tested
But for now I am one with the sky, ooh
I hope these parachutes open
Before we reach
The ground
Safe and
Sound?
Like awakened from a dream
My mind’s so alive
Sensory overload on the dive
Thirty thousand feet
Go by in a rush
(A rush, a rush, a rush)
But we’re all in the same boat now
But we’re all in the same fall now
For far too long we put landing off
Our heads in the clouds
But now it’s time to make up
This distance through the sky, ooh
Just give one more chance to put my feet on
The ground
C’mon dance with me, girl
We’ll take a break beat
And try to stop the end of the world
C’mon dance with me, girl
Let anybody try to stop us, uh
Hear the lies around us whirl
We’ll take a break-a-beat
And try to stop the end of the world
C’mon dance with me, girl
Through the fire let them try to catch us
Graphic Grim..
Come and dance with me
Act like you got a chance to leave
But we advancing speeds
So fast, might crash at seas
Into a nasty siege
Cause a ghastly scene
Smoke from the engine
Too bad to breathe
Plane's goin' down
It's maddening
People freakin' out that it's actually happening
Screamin' it's gonna be a tragedy
But magically, you're glad to see it’s me
Graphic Grim and Jason Murray
Flew in, in an amazin' flurry
Come on, let's get out this place in a hurry
Cause you need rescue that's absolute
So as you fall to the ground, you pray for your parachute
To open..
Sea levels risin’
Where’s the soul?
Seems like we’re spinnin’ out of control, but
All that I know is it’s a lonely sight..
And the night
Keeps getting darker
And the light
Is getting harder to find
Momentum’s building
Still we’re wasting
Time’s not on our side
Trees and pavement approach
I grab onto the cord
Frayed by generations of our apathy
But with these remaining threads
So many lives have dedicated
I give it one hard pull
Crossroads of a collective fool
But there’s no turning back now,
No turning back now,
No turning back now
I hope these parachutes open
Before we reach
The ground
(panting)
(sigh)
