Lyrics

The inevitable concern
Cycles of life
To hold too tightly
To what's happening now
To manufacture the past
Trapped in a looking glass
Chained to the mast
Of a ship that's run aground
Carelessly wasting away
Lost in dreaming
An empire in decay
It's almost finished cooking down

The food ain't right
The air's too tight
Money is might
And the weather is...well you never know

The kids, the fight
I'm up all night
Tryna remain light
But I miss the convection
Is love an infection?

I'm praying for the strength
To continue standing up
So high on this mountain
Far beyond the peak
Well I need it all to come crumbling down
To become one with the sea
To find the center of the Earth
Where love is always burning
Yes I'm learning
To live without you

The food ain't right
The air's too tight
Money is might
And the weather is...well you never know

The kids, the fight
I'm tryna remain light
But I miss the convection
Is love an infection?

I'm praying for the strength
To continue waking up speaking up standing up
So high on this mountain
Far beyond the peak
And I need it all to come crumbling down
To become one with the sea
To find the center of the Earth
Where love is always burning
Yes I'm learning
Yes I'm learning
Yes I'm learning
To live without you
