lyrics

Airless atmosphere
My life is now here
Conspiracy radio
Friend or foe

Conversations flow
With the globe below
Talking about our blue
home beneath us

What do they say?
On the earth
What do you hear?
On the earth
Where are you now?
On the earth
Where do you stand?
On the earth

Seraph on a cloud
Saying words out loud
Flying to face the face
Skyward to the final place
As I ascend
to the firmament
I turn to see the feral earth

I complain to no one
Taking my turn
Like a good human
I lower my head
My voice is small
I let it happen
Let it happen….

Say goodbye to loved ones
Hug the children
Enter the cold steel
Uncertain fate I surrender to

Our canvas is fragile
It makes sense all the while
Gaining this perspective
Sounds like rhetoric
When my feet are on the ground

How can we tell her we are failing?
Disappointment will change the leaves
Another season imitates the dying
Her breath a smoky haze as she grieves
