Don't Fall In
(专辑: Let Them Eat Chaos - 2016)
We came from the
four corners, we are the
raw waters The
course the
four horsemen would drink from, the
water that pours We carry the
river, the
reservoir, the
residue Rising waves, she sprayed the
inevitable Churn across many voices in our vape As we surge and gush, we were steam and a
distant heat We move rapid over landscape, gathering speed Desert, land, city, forest, and beach Heading for the
people that sleep, ready to bleed Unleash the
torrents, come clean Carry many lessons that the
water teach But you better learn to swim or you'll get caught beneath Hard rain falling on all the
halfhearted Half formed, fast walking, half fury, half boredom Hard talking, half dead from exhaustion Half pushed but the
puddles keep forming, don't fall in Some saw us in their tea leaves, some felt us in their knees Most left it to the
weathermen to tell them there was nothing to see You can play dumb and ignore for so long But we've been in the
mountains getting strong We've seen you filling up the
sky with your fumes Sitting in your rooms like you're all that ever lived Heads down to the
lives of the
others in your towns Running from the
rains like you've never been kissed, look Leave your possessions and fun so your friends That you've gone to make peace with the
things you've never done Come dance in the
deluge, spill like the
flood The
weathervane swings, things will never change Single the
moneymen who close their eyes and pretend That this rumble must be low planes, so strange Hard rain falling on all the
halfhearted Half formed, fast walking, half fury, half boredom Hard talking, half dead from exhaustion Half pushed but the
puddles keep forming, don't fall in And they will run to the
highest hill, consult their old books Ask the
dead mystics for wisdom they don't trust The
people will flock to the
garages Stockpile cannisters of gasoline, tinned fish, and bandages Count the
seconds between the
thunder and the
lightning Scared of every other body running 'round frightened "We can't carry on like this," you will mutter Staring with disgust at the
people weeping in the
gutter "Yeah, we made no trouble, we played by the
rules I
worked double shift to get my kids from school!" But you were so focused on your own little part You went plowing on blind in the
dark, no heart Now we're not the
dreaded storm that will end things We're just your playful, gale force friend in these end times Come to remind you you're not an island Life is much broader than borders But who can afford to think over the
walls of this fortress? Of course, it's important to provide roof and floorboards For you and yours and be secure in your fortunes But you're more than the
three or four you go to war for You're part of a
people that need your support And, who's world is it if it belongs to these corporates? The
people are left on the
doorstep, door shut Nauseous and tortured by all that they've lost Hard rain falling on all the
halfhearted Half formed, fast walking, half fury, half boredom Hard talking, half dead from exhaustion Half pushed but the
puddles keep forming, don't fall in
