To Take For Granted. (Live From The Faraday Cage)

(album: A BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO FAKING YOUR DEATH - 2021)

I don't take the sea for granted, it could dry any time it wants
I don't take the sky for granted, it could fall anytime it pleases
I don't take the land for granted, it could flood anytime this year
Nor do I the seeds it's planted, they could easily take me down

Why can't I get through, why can't I get through
Why can't I get through to you?
You'll never understand 'til it's gone and there's blood on your hands
Well, I know damn well what I give is what I oughta get
But what if what I give is something I alone possess?

The world could turn itself on its head
It could turn clockwise instead
The earth could spin to west

I don't take the sea for granted, it could dry any time it wants
I don't take the sky for granted, it could fall anytime it pleases
I don't take the land for granted, it could flood anytime this year
Nor do I the seeds it's planted, they could easily take me down

Take me down, take me down, take me
Take me down, take me down
Just don't you take me for granted

The air in my lungs, it never comes easily
Sometimes my throat constricts, and I cannot breathe
I wheeze and pray for a gasp of fresh air
A slip of the tongue could rattle a house of cards
Like a snake, suffocate, asphyxiate
There's no fix, too late
Tipping over, but you seem sober
So where'd that judgment go?

The world could turn itself on its head
It could turn clockwise instead
The earth could spin to the west

I don't take the sea for granted, it could dry any time it wants
I don't take the sky for granted, it could fall anytime it pleases
I don't take the land for granted, it could flood anytime this year
Nor do I the seeds it's planted, they could easily take me down

Take me down, take me down, take me down
Take me down
Take a photo while you can
We won't be here for long
Lonely wolf keeps friends as lambs
Starves when they are gone

I don't take the sea for granted, it could dry any time it wants
I don't take the sky for granted, it could fall anytime it pleases
I don't take the land for granted, it could flood anytime this year
Nor do I the seeds it's planted, they could easily take me down
