The Orphaning
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.
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
