Watch the sea
for my sweet princess ruby
on the breeze
a storm’s rolling in
it’ll be here by dawn
here by dawn
Watch the skies
she stopped time and travelling
take a look
she’s bluer since forever
and all it took
was something microscopic
to clear the skies
to see the dawn coming on
Watch the ground
silent numbers climbing
deeper down
unclaimed dead
are lying in
City parks
well how much, how many
does it take to shut it down?
How many hungry die?
How many feed the flies?
How many in the ground
before we shut it down?
We were warned
We were warned how many
We were warned
We were warned we didn’t
Shut it down
Shut it down we didn’t
Shut it down
Shut it down and start over
Watch the sea
the sky, the ground
all crumbling underneath
and everything we ever
knew is gone
a storm’s rolling on
it’ll be here by dawn
here by dawn

Something Good

Why don’t you meet me
On the corner of the main strip
just by that coffee shop
The one that closed about week ago
We never tried it out
Why don’t you meet me
Outside mine
Or I could meet you at yours
Stay right beside my letterbox
No knockin on my door
Wave at me from a distance
talk about how things aren’t looking good
aren’t looking good
Why don’t you meet me in
the middle of the day, I’ll wave to you from a screen
List down the books and movies that you love
Got time to check em out
Why don’t you meet me
The middle of this bad dream
I have almost every night
Where I run and try to catch an early morning flight
And I miss it every time
Not as bad as what I’m seeing
Empty streets sirens screaming
People hoarding spitting getting mean
Looking out for only them
Lonely now no one to touch
My friend you think you could interrupt
The usual broadcast change it up
Won’t you help me dream of something good
Why don’t you meet me on the corner of
Why don’t you meet me outside
Why don’t you meet me in the middle now
Why don’t you meet me in my dreams

Out of your hands
Out of your control
Easier now to pack it up and fold
Hard this way
Trying to stay warm with a
Heart out and open to the cold
Staying inside all day to watch
Everything living thing outside me die
Drinking every night to stop myself from crying
How do we rebuild?
How do move on?
How do we give back a land that’s gone?
Nothing I can say
Nothing I can do
How do you return the world to new?
But a little bit of hope I read today
A way to make lasting change
Is healing what we can within our reach
And some things worth remembering
leaves have grown from burnt out trees
A little bit of rain had fallen in the east
Out of my hands
Out of my control
Stay inside and lock the door
Or fight for life
For the next
And a tiny life to press against my chest
Tomorrow we’ll be marching me and you
The country will be marching too
Your cousin had a baby girl they named her Drew
I can’t wait to see my love
To hear you struggle with the lock
Decide it might be nice to sit outside
Another little thing to hold to get me by

Goodnight Ice

Goodnight ice
Goodnight ice
Break and join the water
Don’t you fly
Fall and glide
Melt into the horizon
I see you
I see you
And I hope to be seeing you soon
Goodbye ice
Sleep tight
I’ll stay awake and sing all day and night for you
I’m sorry we
We let you go
I’m sorry it took us so long
I’m sorry now
It’s still going on
But I feel a wave coming
I feel a wave
I feel a wave
I feel a wave coming
I’m sorry for
For what we’ve done
For what we can’t undo
I’m promise you
We’re trying now
And I feel a wave coming
I feel a wave
I feel a wave
I feel a wave coming

Underground

High in the heat of summer
you feel like shutting down
I wouldn’t hold it against you no not now
Is anything ‘round us growing?
Is everything burning up?
Already out of ideas and time and luck
We could go
Safe down low
Underground
My early morning findings
Keep me awake ‘til noon
I read and I read in the dark for some good news
But all I can see is the weather
I feel like giving up
You wouldn’t hold it against me would you my love?
When it’s colder down
Sleeping sound
Underground
Safe down low
So why not go?
Maybe if they came running
Saying they made a mistake
We’d open our arms and tell them, “It’s okay”
But all I can see is burning
And all I can hear is denial
There’s only so long we can dance around this fire
Because people pay
When money’s made
Underground
No more crying
Stay still stay quiet
Should be sleeping now
But we can’t go
We can’t go
