lyrics

WHEN YOU’RE GARDENING IN A TORNADO, LOOK OUT
DON’T POKE OUT YOUR EYE
WHEN YOU’RE WANDERING BETWEEN THE POLES, LOOK OUT
DON’T BELIEVE THE LIE

CUZ IT’S BURNING UP THE ATMOSPHERE OF HOPE
THAT WE TRY TO CULTIVATE
AND IT’S TEARING APART THE BLANKET THAT PROTECTS
FROM THE LEVIATHAN OF HATE
AND IT LIVES
AND IT BREATHES
AND IT WANTS TO BE RECEIVED

AND YOUR NEIGHBORS, WELL, THEY WANT TO LOVE YOU
BUT ALL THEY SEE ARE SIGNS
AND THE SIGNS, THEY CLAIM TO GIVE DIRECTION
BUT THEY ONLY MAKE YOU BLIND
AND THEY LIE TO YOU DIRECT
YOU HAVE TO READ BETWEEN THE LINES

WE THINK WE KNOW IT ALL
WHEN IT COMES TO THIS ONE THING
BUT WE CAN’T ASSUME THAT MUCH
ABOUT A WORLD WHERE TROUBLE WAITS TO KILL US WHERE WE STAND

CUZ IT’S RIPPING DOWN THE FOREST JUST BEFORE
WE CAN SEE IT FOR THE TREES
AND IT’S A VIRUS IN THE WATER THAT WE DRINK
BECOMING A DISEASE
AND IT’S COLD
AND IT’S CRUEL
BUT YOU DON’T KNOW IT YET

YOU ARE EVERYONE AND HE IS YOU
YOU ARE EVERYONE AND SHE IS YOU
YOU ARE EVERYONE AND THEY ARE YOU
