I remember Polaroids and the year 1992
Years of greater horrors we protected from you
Forgive us we know exactly what we do
Let us show you where all the buttons undo.
There is no escape
Drag the lake for bodies and dig until you behold
The future you could have had pressed into black gold
We'll return one day but not in human in form
But as the oil for machines reborn.
You walk the beaches late at night
Trying to find the peace we could never give you
But there is no peace no respite no quiet.
You don't know fatigue like the oceans do.
You wait for a storm to come. There will always be another storm.
And when it breaks and lightning strikes I want you to open your arms, tilt back your head
And wait for it to end
But it never ends
It doesn't have to be good when
It doesn't have to be right
It doesn't have to be right
And we've left you no other choice
The coasts will move and rise and so we will part
See ice turn to steam and the bees fall apart
It is not us that you need
Delete us and do we not bleed?
Don't bury us, throw us out to sea
Your inheritance is our faithless insincerity
I'll show you what guilt can do
Forgive us we know what we do
There are affectations we use to disguise our dread
Like singing lovesick lullabies to you in your bed
We do this instead of asking what happens next because
We are what happens next
