Our Last Night On Earth
[Verse: Carlo Marquez]
I'm so sick of this
I'm so sick of all these places that I've been
All my friends alike
Cut from consciousness
Their lives are dithering
But not me, I'm fine

[Chorus: Jason Weiche]
The sky lit up
Watched the words roll off of your lips
The sound of waves broke apart what was left of here
The nights grew louder in the great beyond
We all had to let go

[Verse: Jason Weiche]
It's such a mystery
How you can get to me
And turn my life off
And all the space between
It now makes sense to me
We're all in this lost

[Chorus: Carlo Marquez, Jason Weiche]
The sky lit up
We fell like others when this world was so cold
Watched the words roll off of your lips
The sound of waves broke apart what was left of here
But never like this, now this doesn't feel like home
The nights grew louder in the great beyond
Take comfort in knowing it won't be all right
We all had to let go
The sky lit up
We fell like others when this world was so cold
Watched the words roll off of your lips
The sound of waves broke apart what was left of here
But never like this, now this doesn't feel like home
The nights grew louder in the great beyond
I'm sorry to inform you
We all had to let go
I'm sorry for you

[Spoken Word: Kurt Travis, Lauren Johnson]
Is she asleep?
Yeah, she knows it's bad from us boarding the windows, but she doesn't understand why
Sure she does, every adult she's seen today had it nailed to their faces like an eviction notice
So much nothing, it looks like television static eating up the horizon, how can we already be out of time?
We never made any, did we?
We lost focus in our coffee cup tunnel-vision too many times
Forgot the point, why were we here keeping this world alive?
How?
Meaning in life is just something we cultivate
We start with an idea and run with it everywhere
Like tired gospel, all the while it's dying in our heads
Like roses?
Exactly like roses, until it's not
Then it's birthday presents, reality TV mainlining the happily ever after, and this, the white noise waiting outside our door
