Lyrics

Modern Act

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Here we are among the living

See and count your friends

Gathered in a room together

This is how it ends

Can't stand the modern act

Whose war is this, what god is that?

Feels like the tide is only

Starting to come in

Do you know what it's like

To be out and alive?

To say you're doing alright

Yeah, you're doing just fine?

When you feel like an ocean

Coming out of a creek

Filling rivers to wait for you

Wherever you are?

When you're out and around

And all you ever see

Are people looking away?

It's nothing new to me

I want a life, that's all I need lately

I am alive but all alone

I want a life, that's all I need lately

I am alive but all alone

I want a life, that's all I need lately

I am alive but all alone

I want a life, that's all I need lately

I am alive but all alone

Calling on the light, forgiving

See to all and then

Waiting on the old, expiring force

To go and end

Can't stand the modern act

Whose war is this, what god is that?

Feels like the tide is only

Starting to come in

Do you know what it's like

To be out and alive?

To say you're doing alright

Yeah, you're doing just fine?

When you feel like an ocean

Coming out of a creek

Filling rivers to wait for you

Wherever you are?

When you're out and around

And all you ever see

Are people looking away?

It's nothing new to me

I want a life, that's all I need lately

I am alive but all alone

I want a life, that's all I need lately

I am alive but all alone

I want a life, that's all I need lately

I am alive but all alone

I want a life, that's all I need lately

I am alive but all alone

Left the light on to take account

Of all the fire in me

Won't come over and make it out

A little lighter to see

Left the light on you

Take account of all the fire in me

Won't come over and make it out

A little lighter to see

I want a life, that's all I need lately

I am alive but all alone

I want a life, that's all I need lately

I am alive but all alone

I want a life, that's all I need lately

I am alive but all alone

I want a life, that's all I need lately

I am alive but all alone
