II. TO SHAKE WITH THE EARTH

from Bask In The Dancing Light by Closedown

/

lyrics

Smoke stack seas drift effortlessly into the lungs of every man and beast.
Strike a match on the corpses of trees, won’t you please make it stop?

Plastic parasites trap life in its teeth, waters are poisoned by corporate greed,
and here we are, waiting for complacency.

I sit with you, at the end of the world, smitten, sipping beer from an aluminum can,
watching the monuments burn.

I lean over and wipe the ash from your forehead,
“we did our part, this isn’t our fault, how could it be?”

I am full of shit, a coward who thought memes made a difference,
barely lifting a finger as if to hold up the world,
while others perished paycheck to paycheck.

Smiles fade with the day, smitten turns to guilt ridden, was it really enough?
Could a cog kill the machine? I shake with the earth.

My heart, My head, My hands are trembling
I’ve never felt more alive than here lying with you
I’ve never felt more alive than here dying with you
