Five

The heat waves, they keep coming, deserts where fields once grew
The ice is slowly melting, we don’t know what to do
The future isn’t written, but it’s pressing on our hearts
We’re dancing on the edge now, as the world falls apart

Verse 1
And time, it isn’t linear, it’s a web that we’ve spun
Futures are indeterminate, not already done
But this notion of apocalypse, it’s a deadly drumbeat
And we’ve got to change the rhythm before we face defeat

Verse 2
Why’ This Buying and selling Smoke in our eyes
The news just came over, we’ve got no time to ignore
The Earth, she’s getting hotter, oceans rising to the shore
We thought we had forever, and now we know no more

Verse 3
And in this moment, everything’s entwined
A pine tree is time, the ocean’s time
If time is annihilated, mountains crumble, seas evaporate
And all being is time, as we hurtle towards our fate

Chorus
We’ve got five years, the clock’s winding down
Five years, as the heat bears down
We’ve got five years, the forests burn and sway
Five years, as our world decays
We’ve got five years, the markets fall apart
Five years, it’s breaking our hearts
Five years, that’s all we’ve got

Chorus
We’ve got five years, the clock’s winding down
Five years, as the heat bears down
We’ve got five years, the forests burn and sway
Five years, as our world decays
We’ve got five years, the markets fall apart
Five years, it’s breaking our hearts
Five years, that’s all we’ve got
