LYRIC: And We Dance (May)
The rain it started falling wrong
Too much, too little
Floods and droughts
Where did all the seasons go?
And I’m trying to watch the news less now
Curating only positivity
I like to look at pretty pictures
Watch my sports
Listen to podcasts that only cater in nostalgia
So we can dance and we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
At the end of the world
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
There used to be this thing we called the truth
At least that’s what I’m choosing to believe
It might have been some dream I had?
It might have been some fucked up fantasy?
I can’t remember the last time I checked the facts?
I can’t remember the last time you checked the facts?
I can’t remember the last time we checked the facts?
I can’t remember how we ever used to disagree?
So we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
At the end of the world
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
At the end of the world
Why do my feet feel sore?
Why do my legs hurt so?
Why can’t I stop myself?
From dancing
Please help me - I can’t stop dancing…
We barely even notice anymore
When a bomb drops and gives birth to war
Grumble on about the price of gas
And set our eyes towards a screen
Advertising’s noticed less than war
We sold our right to privacy if we ever had that right before?
And turned ourselves into our brands
To sell the nothing we have left of ourselves right into their hands
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
At the end of the world
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
Heatwave one week, snow the next
They said it only takes a few degrees
Before it cannot be undone
We laugh at references to once before
The things we watched when we were kids
Distracting us so they could steal
Everything that we once held so dear
While our minds were so diverted that it felt like progress as they took our souls
Leaving us with nothing more than scraps
of broken promises and pairs of too-tight dancing shoes
So we can dance and we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
At the end
(why do my feet feel sore?)
of the world
And we dance and we dance
(why do my legs hurt so? )
and we dance and we dance and we dance
(why can’t I stop myself from dancing?)
At the end
of the world
And we dance and we dance
(Please help me! I can’t stop dancing!) and we dance and we dance and we dance
At the end of the world
(why are my feet so sore? Why do my legs hurt so? Why can’t I stop myself from dancing? Please help me! I can’t stop dancing!)
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
At the end of the world
(Please help me! I can’t stop dancing!)
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
At the end of the world
(Stop dancing)
And we dance and we dance and we dance and we dance
(Dancing)
and we dance
At the end of the world
(At the end of the world)
