lyrics

"Yo John! Have you not heard?! Give up, the Earth is crumbling!"
"And you can't save the world with idealistic mumblings"

I'm sorry what was that?!
I can't hear you when I sing.
I'm only thinking about the joy this music brings.

We all live our lives one day at a time
It will all be fine if we don't lose our minds
Holding on until we find what we're hear to find
Just keep your head above the choking brine

Countless eyes fixed on the shore
Living life like it's a chore
So bored...

Just enjoy the swim, we all could drown today
And the water is perfect out here anyways
Since living life is a sin, I guess I'll look within
Pity you won't scare me with your fabled fin

Have you ever looked right at a setting sun?
Looked away and saw stars where there were none...
Well every will has a way if you don't mind the run
Come one, come all! It's a free for all!
We must fight for our lives

Countless eyes fixed on the shore
Living life like it's a chore
Looking up!

Just enjoy the swim, we all could drown today
And the water is perfect out here anyways
Since living life is a sin, I guess I'll look within
Pity you won't scare me with your fabled fin

What's true to you?

We're still in Eden, the scene has just changed a bit
Now we have reason
We lost our souls to save our minds
And I don't mind

Just enjoy the swim, we all could drown today
And the water is perfect out here anyways
Since living life is a sin, I guess I'll look within
Pity you won't scare me with your fabled fin

We gave our souls to save our minds
