lyrics

So of this situation what sense can one make?
Is everyone condemned to such a lonely fate?
Does nothing that we do here reverberate?

If love always ends in heartbreak, is it even worth the price?
Why not a life of luxury, hard work and sacrifice?
Is everything disposable, is the point just to sell high?
Or are we being tested for some kind of afterlife?

Some say that's right
But right here tonight I can feel the light
Burning hot white

So of this situation what sense can one make?
Perhaps we're not condemned to such a lonely fate.
What if the things we do here reverberate?

But secret accounts and warheads, and banks of satellites?
Whoever owns the echo chamber is now patenting the light.
But we're blind so they're boldly doing all of their crimes right in plain sight.
So would you rather boil slowly, or drown putting up a fight?

Tonight's the night, the fire's burning bright.
Boil or fight?
Or does might make right?

Don't hesitate, don't hesitate. Why wait?

Don't you know you're surrounded,
And you're already drowning?

Don't hesitate, don't hesitate. Why wait?
