Earthtones

strained eyes toward infinite night skies
 hemlocks, sunsets through white pines,
 roadmaps and distant state lines
 it only took one trip to understand
 the dam is cracked with no room to expand and seats are filling up
 quick inside. from coast to coast
 wrapped up in all these earth tones
 wrapped up and warm in earth songs
 its one small step
 another step for man and im sick of getting stepped on
 eyes fixed on the prize, generations side by side
 Theyre marching through the trees, blinded by reality
 status: endangered and the species consists of me
 am i the only living exception with vision un-obscured and clear?
 jump up, get down, hypothesize, cut the ties, cross the lines
 re-posses everybodys life. am i the only fucking exception?
 ♪
 and this disease will bring the planet to its knees
 no self-defense left to dispense on kings, citizens
 and queens. is it too late to start pretending?
 throw it in reverse and skip the ending?
 no, its on the way, its on the way, its on the way, its on the way
 im reminded every single day. from coast to coast
 wrapped up in all these earth tones
 wrapped up and warm in earth songs
 homogenize the countryside
 big city lights and small town pride
 an orb of water and life drained from the outside
 it has begun. im the only one touched by the setting sun
 it has begun
