lyrics

I’m hiding in the corner
Where the air conditioner hits
I’m far from the danger
But I’m engulfed in it
I don’t feel safe
I don’t feel safe
While I am this warm
I feel a change
I feel a change
Has come and gone and we’d been warned

Stop pretending it’s all fine when it’s all dry and dire
If we’d given all this back in time, our beds would not be
On fire

Magpies sing with the sirens
Louder than the thoughts and prayers
Coming from the scum in marketing
With his boundless plains to share
There’s nothing there
There’s nothing there
No, not anymore
We breathe the same air
We breathe the same air
So how can he afford

To keep pretending it’s all fine when it's all dry and dire
If we’d given all this back in time, our beds would not be
On fire

Right now, it’s raining in the wrong state and I’m about to go to bed
And I wish that I could give mine up to someone who needs it
And I know that in the morning, we’ll wake up to more heartbreaking news
But don’t worry, pretty soon it’ll be something else that we're used to

They’re hiding on the ocean
While hell hides the horizon
They’re evacuating to dead ends
In a dying nation
They’re all so tired
They’re all so tired
They’ve just lost their homes
Oh yeah, they're tired
Oh yeah, they're tired
And they are not alone

So stop pretending it’s all fine when it’s all dry and dire
If we’d given all this back in time, well then our beds would not be on fire
Stop trying to shake our hands, start listening instead
If you’d done that in the first place we could choose between life and death

On fire
