What happened here The butterfly has lost its wings The air's too thick to breathe And there's something in the drinking water The sun comes up The sun comes up and you're alone Your sense of purpose come undone The traffic trails back to the maze on 101 And the news from the sky is looking better for today In every single way but not for you Or else it is soon Or else it is soon And it's not safe All the yellow birds are sleeping Cause the air's not fit for breathing It's not safe Why can't we be Without beginning, without end Why can't we be Or else it is soon Or else it is soon And if I stop And talk with you a while I'm overwhelmed by the scale Of everything you feel The lonely interstate emergency I want to feel Until my heart can take no more And there's nothing in this world I wouldn't give I want to break The indifference of the days I want a conscious that will keep me wide awake I won't be disappointed I won't be disappointed I won't be I saw a face It was a face I didn't know The sadness told me everything about my own Come, let it be One least expected there she is All the time and space that separates us And I'm not safe I think I need a second skin No, I'm not safe Or else it is soon Or else it is soon I want to travel by night Across the steppes and overseas I want to understand the cost Of everything that's lost I want to pronounce all their names correctly Or else it is soon Or else it is soon I won't be disappointed I won't be She doesn't love We've gone from comedy to converse And she doesn't feel the ground she walks upon I turn away And I'm not sleeping well at night And while I know this isn't right What can you do?
