lyrics

We can't paint with broad strokes expecting precision
so we'll narrow our focus to see what we're missing
slowly but surely, we'll kill off our darlings
because stories with endings are just far more inviting
we'll take the weights of these massive decisions
when we know they've been under envisioned
nobody sees it the ways that they should

Keeping our time here
Keeping our times here

Flags half the mast, where they stay barely risen
no pause to oppression, just reactive divisions
progress for people, with values and worth
until they have no worth anymore

we're keeping our time here
we're keeping our time here
we're keeping our time here
we're keeping our time here

Show us faces of fear made from merciless man
show us shame by design, hate instead of love
show us armies of those not willing to follow them

We could turn it around, if we could figure it out
we could have it again, we could make it work
take the parts from the whole, dismantle the great machine

Show us mercy of man, where religion divides
all the colorful creeds show us unity
or the oceans will rise to swallow this world we've seen

We could turn it around, we could have it again
learn to take from the earth, then to give it back
we could swallow our pride or swallow the salty seas
