I used to have this fantasy, more like a scheme, to find
a way out of this trap: a strategy, a fuse to light
and watch it all burn down, our jobs and factories and malls…ignite!
And wait and see
Our lives won’t be on hold anymore, the flames will set us free
But it has taken me, and taken us, so long to see it clearly
Now we’re faced with different choices
at the age when looking back in shame is new
Something changed when most of us gave up the feeling and belief in something possible
Everything is possible
I still have this simple dream, it’s so naïve I’m told
A cut & paste design: “a new world inside the shell of the old”
ways we’re forced to live, so don’t forget and don’t forgive…ignite!
And wait and see
Our lives won’t be on hold anymore, love and rage will set us free
It has taken me, and taken us, so long to see this clearly
Faced with the same choices
to escape or become something new
Things can change if we don’t give up the feeling and belief in something possible
Everything is possible
There’s a pale light flickering out on the horizon
You can see it through gaps and holes in broken buildings
There’s a faint drum beating somewhere, somehow
Under your skin, inside your chest
I can feel it when you breathe
You can hear it if you’re listening…to each other
We deserve better than this
Something different, something better, something beautiful
No fences, no borders, no boundaries but our own

Found this album at a time I was in the habit of having a bad dream about you and me. It's great, the song's great, the band's great, corn dogs are probably mid at best. vincentavatar

The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world.
But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur
