Feel the future
Underneath you
Like sand caught in the water
Walk into November
With hands held high
Denying climate at
110 degrees
It’s been months since rain has touched this face
I’ve got the earth’s crust
Dust
Trapped in my lungs
And I remember
Before the mountains burned around us
I can smell it
Everynight around 3am
We are the future
We are the future
Yesterday I heard someone
Say an app would help us forget
Another concert
Another gallon of holy water
Another pill to help us numb the pain of this
Help me turn up my music
But how does it feel
To reach for ink to write with
When the riverbed went dry
We are the future
The only thing
The future
Us
How does it feel
To know you can work to help this
Fix this
We can
We might just
We must
Because
You and me and us
For them
We might be down
But we can lift this up
While the earth spins ’round
And the sun burns down
All the clocks speed up
Just slow down
Help this out
I know we’ve got our issues
It’s just some things we’re going through
But you and me and us
How does it feel
To know we can.
