The Weather

We will not be satisfied
There's nothing we cannot alter
Until we find a cure for death
Until we walk upon the water

There came a time
When I could make sense of nothing
I went down to a little shrine
To wash away the sins I was carrying
There came a moment of absolution
A blessed light shone down from the heavens
It was just around the time
The gunmen burst in firing

It's pretty hard to think at all
When all around is screaming
Electricity charge crackles in the air
The lightning's gonna strike
But we don't know where or when
We just know that it's coming

As we change just like the weather
The winds blow a little stronger
The high tide reaches a little further up the beach
And the sun burns hotter
And we all go a little madder
As the pressure rises up a little higher
And you and I we just get harder
The spaces between us wider

Our beauty and landscape
Are what appear on the screen
Where the forests have been manicured
And the oceans are clean

Through the telescopic sights
The drones and the satellites
We can sit back in our chair
And stalk our prey
We command the machines
And the machines obey

The animals go in panic
Try to get away
We fetishize the things we love
Then kill them anyway

Deep in the ground amongst the bones
A million giants' teeth are sown
While high above the systems realign
In a swirl of water and air

As we change just like the weather
The winds blow a little stronger
The high tide reaches a little further up the beach
And the sun burns hotter
And we all go a little madder

As the pressure creeps a little higher
And the rivers flow a little deeper
And the waters stretch a little further
And the hillsides they just grow drier
And the fires catch a little faster
And you and I we just get harder
The spaces between us wider

As we change just like the weather
The winds blow a little stronger
The high tide reaches a little further up the beach
And the sun burns hotter
And the hillsides they grow drier
The fires catch a little faster
And you and I we just get harder
The spaces between us wider
