Everyone's looking forwards, but I'm looking around,
Looking for some meaning which no-one's ever found,
Trying to find light in an endless wall of sound,
Trying to see the sky when I'm staring at the ground.
It's getting worse every day;
Everything I cared about has started to decay.
I can't spend time with you, alone;
Everything I cared about, I'm looking
For home.
If I'm so happy then why can't I sleep?
All those eyes are staring up, thinking they're so deep.
I'm looking for the ocean in an endless scrap heap
Of everything I loved before; I can't admit defeat,
And I'll hope that all of these realisations
Have given me some kind of appreciation for time…
Everyone's steeped in mists and rain, but I have clarity;
All those eyes are staring up, longing to be free.
And all these broken consoles can't tell me now;
I'll worry about the when when I've figured out the how.
I'm feeling better every day;
Everything I cared about you tell me to betray.
I can spend hours just thinking, alone;
Everything I cared about I'm coming home.

Worry About It Now

Left:
I can feel your breath through the forest,
Desiccating wood and rending streams;
Titans sink their roots to acknowledge;
Bare rock face gleams.
I can twist past death and the mountain,
Power of the ether at my back;
Ruptured, calloused years I've been counting,
Eyes growing slack.
Right:
I've got my head screwed on
The right way.
It's ok to fail sometimes
But never to try again.
A problem solver; always have been!
One day a challenge will
Finish me,
But not today.
Chorus:
Don't worry about it now!
Don't worry about it now!
Don't worry about it now,
'Cause it's much too late! // 'Cause it's not your place!
Left:
Dormant, dead, I lay under glaciers
Waiting for your blood to summon me.
As we rage we'll crumble these nations
Into the sea.
Right:
It seems imposing; I'm not scared!
Faceless figures are just like us.
Yellow jackets, empty suits;
I'm not scared.
Chorus:
Don't worry about it now!
Don't worry about it now!
Don't worry about it now,
'Cause it's much too late! // 'Cause it's not your place!

And it’s sad to think of all those people living a lie,
Who could live a hundred years and never see the sky,
And you can feel their bliss, in ignorance immersed:
This world has never had things worse. (Destroyed by your curse.)
Don’t let them sedate you or circumvent your mind:
You let them drown your doubts; sweet words and sweeter wine.
Denying all the shadows won’t make a brighter day;
When the world is dying there’s not much you can say. (We’re dying anyway.)
Mountainshine and river crumble,
Reach straight for your holster, fumble
For the trigger,
Never be the bigger man.
Mountainshine and river crumble,
Try to find the right path, stumble
Over your greed,
So oppress us if you can.
Force us together and you drive us apart,
The key to coexistence: shut up and make a start!
You saturate your sorrow with all your currency
While your soul fades away into transparency. (It won’t be me.)
And you can’t just stand passive amidst this dereliction,
You’ve got to make an effort to break your addiction;
In a state of confusion it's hard to see what’s right,
So try to find some clarity: come and join the fight. (The end is in sight.)
