lyrics

LYRICS

Sound the alarms,
Let’s raise our palms
To the system that’s meant to serve us.
We’re just brush strokes, not anything goes
on a paint by numbers canvas.

The canaries in its cage,
Voice chocked, from its calling,
Wake up, this is your final warning.

Did it just get really hot?
Or are we in a boiling pot,
Simmering, waters rising,
Trees roots are writhing.
Can’t relax!
See it all unravel and lose track.
Watch our worlds spinning on its collapse,
as it shakes us of its back.
DECYCLE.

Defect, destruct, decycle.
Defect, destruct, decycle.
And slowly becoming idle...

Decycle, Disarm, Disengage
Deactivate the cage
And cogs, be a spanner
In a life consumed by work and plans
Find peace in falling to pieces
Find calm waters where the oil ceases

The ocean waves drown out the hiss
While the sharp edges fade in seaside mist

All this waste, can’t replace.
Poison in the air,
smoke in your face.

The bees are disappearing,
dropping one by one.
Can you hear them screaming?
No longer buzzing along.

Can you see it now?
There’s no going back.
As we defecate on natures path.

Defect, disarm, disengage.
Defect, destruct, decycle.
Defy in nature's rage...
