Drowning In The Sound

You worship the sun and you're aching for change
 But you keep starving your heart
 You used to have sisters
 You don't anymore
 You worship the sun
 But you keep feeding the dark
 ♪
 And I'm out in the yard
 With my son and daughter
 And the sky is all black and I think we should start running
 Running from the water
 And everybody's yelling
 Yelling that they're coming
 But I don't see a single soul
 They're all so busy yelling
 Not one of them is hearing
 The hissing from the bottom of the boat
 I got some feelings up my sleeve
 I got a compass in my arm
 I got a needle in my heart
 It's gonna tell us where we are
 South by south west
 Two miles from town
 I can't get out
 I can't look down
 If you can hear
 If you're around
 I'm over here
 I'm over here
 I'm watching everyone I love
 Drowning in the sound
 ♪
 You worship the sun
 But the moons in the way
 So get your armaments out
 She's always looking for trouble
 She's gonna get what's been coming to her
 She's switching the tide
 And we can't have that shit around
 The television they're blaring out the warning:
 That our natural state is drowning
 That our natural state is burning
 And you're trying to help
 And you're clicking for change
 And you're calling it out
 And you're adding your name
 And you're marching for peace
 But you're lynching the bitch
 That got up in your face
 How else they gonna to take you seriously?
 South by south west
 Two miles from town
 I can't get out
 I can't look down
 If you can hear
 If you're around
 I'm over here
 I'm over here
 I'm watching
 Everyone I love
 Drowning in the sound
 And your body is a temple
 But the temple is a prison
 And the prison's overcrowded
 And they know about the flooding
 And the body politic is getting sicker by the minute
 And the media's not fake
 It's just very
 Inconvenient

 Do you ever feel that this should be officially the end?
 And that you should be the one to do the ending but you can't?
 And do you ever feel that everyone is slowly letting go
 Do you ever feel that... incredibly alone?
 And they're saying not to panic
 And it's like a broken record
 Not like anybody know what that is
 And they're saying that they'll manage
 It's the hottest one on record
 And they're saying that it's just the way it is
 And now I can taste it coming
 I can taste it with my tongue
 And my children are so heavy
 But I pick them up and run
 And I know I'll have to swim soon
 When the water gets too high
 I'll keep on holding them above me
 I'll keep on holding them and crying
 South by south west
 Two miles from town
 I can't get out
 I can't look down
 If you can hear
 If you're around
 I'm over here
 I'm watching
 Everyone I love
 Everyone I love
 Everyone on earth
