[00:08.39]It’s coming to pass, my countries coming apart
[00:13.85]The whole thing’s becoming such a bumbling farce
[00:18.27]Was that a pivotal historical moment we just went stumbling past?
[00:23.64]Well, here we are, dancing in the rumbling dark
[00:27.21]So come a little closer, give me something to grasp
[00:32.50]Give me your beautiful, crumbling heart
[00:36.99]Another disaster, catharsis
[00:39.40]Another half-discarded mirage
[00:41.39]Another mask slips
[00:43.95]I face off with the physical
[00:46.46]My head’s ringing from the love of the stars
[00:51.23]There is too much pretense here
[00:54.81]Too much depends on the fragile wages
[00:58.04]And extortionate rents here
[01:01.38]We’re working every dread day that is given us
[01:04.98]Feeling like the person people meet really isn’t us
[01:08.45]Like we’re gonna buckle underneath the trouble
[01:10.92]Like any minute now, the struggle’s going to finish us
[01:15.40]And then we smile at all our friends
[01:20.72]It’s hard, we got our heads down and our hackles up
[01:24.60]Our backs against the wall, I can feel you aching
[01:28.98]None of this was written in stone
[01:31.33]There is nothing we’re forbidden to know
[01:34.22]And I can feel things changing
[01:36.87]Even when I’m weak and I’m breaking
[01:39.22]I’ll stand weeping at the train station
[01:42.16]‘Cause I can see your faces
[01:48.00]There is so much peace to be found in people’s faces
[02:01.63]I saw it roaring
[02:04.80]I felt it clawing at my clothes like a grieving friend
[02:09.80]It said there are no new beginnings
[02:12.75]Until everybody sees that the old ways need to end
[02:16.81]But it’s hard to accept that we’re all one and the same flesh
[02:20.28]Given the rampant divisions between oppressor and oppressed
[02:24.14]But we are, though
[02:26.83]More empathy, less greed, more respect
[02:32.12]All I’ve got to say has already been said
[02:35.50]I mean, you heard it from yourself
[02:37.23]When you were lying in your bed and couldn’t sleep
[02:39.38]Thinking, \"Couldn’t we be doing this differently?\"
[02:44.46]I’m listening to every little whisper in the distance singing hymns
[02:49.35]And I can, I can feel things changing
[02:55.05]But it’s so hard, we got our heads down and our hackles up
[02:59.39]Our backs against the wall, I can feel your heart racing
[03:03.72]None of this was written in stone
[03:05.92]The currents fast, but the river moves slow
[03:08.84]And I can feel things changing
[03:11.36]Even when I’m weak and I’m breakin'
[03:13.79]I stand weeping at the train station
[03:16.48]‘Cause I can see your faces
[03:22.93]There is so much peace to be found in people’s faces
[03:36.32]It’s not enough
[03:38.03]To imagine we’ll be happy when we’ve got enough stuff
[03:41.72]All this stuff is blocking us
[03:45.30]I’m neat with no chaser
[03:47.48]I’m all spirit, but I’m sinking
[03:50.54]'Cause the days are not days but strange symptoms
[03:54.62]And this age is our age
[03:57.48]But our age is rage sinking to beige
[04:01.09]And yes, our children are brave
[04:03.91]But their mission is vague
[04:06.15]Now I don’t have the answers
[04:08.76]But there are still things to say
[04:10.87]I stare out at my city on another difficult day
[04:13.94]And I scream inwardly, \"When will this change?\"
[04:17.86]I’m beginning to fade
[04:19.64]But my sanity’s saved ‘cause I can see your faces
[04:23.65]My sanity’s saved ‘cause I can see your faces
[04:29.80]It’s hard, we got our heads down and our hackles up
[04:33.54]Our backs against the wall, I can feel your heart racing
[04:37.48]None of this was written in stone
[04:39.74]The current’s fast but the river moves slow
[04:42.79]And I can feel things changing
[04:44.90]Even when I’m weak and I’m breaking
[04:47.61]I stand weeping at the train station
[04:50.46]‘Cause I can see your faces
[04:58.28]I love people’s faces
