I can’t breathe until the morning sun comes up
To shed its bright light on my skin
All our flaws in sunrise colours
So for a minute there’s a way
Please don’t forget when you think about today
I can’t breathe with all the words stuck in my throat
Let the media crank up their microphones
Our right to remain silent, for decades overdone
Please don’t forget when you think about this month
Oh lord, oh dear, oh my world feels
So strange and out of focus
Grounds were shaken now kick those days goodbye
Hearts less wasted
“Somewhere, sometime” is here and now for us
You’re trying to bring attention to the point of misconception
Selling anything at once, selling anything at once
Adding more and more attention to the point of misconception
Selling anything at once
But so am I
I can’t breathe until the morning
I can’t breathe until the smoke has cleared
Sole recovery won’t make this world
Learn its lesson in humidity
Learn its lesson in humidity
Please don’t forget when you think about me

Oh once again we’ll spend our days indoors
Lost my hope for the miracle so this time we’ll be forced
And stuck with habits
That we’re so eager to let go
O-oh normality is hard to find
Time keeps on slipping
Only the sane will survive
I keep my social distance
Won’t refuse to obey rules
When evil comes to wreck us all
I will be safe within these walls
It’s just two calm slugs and
I can stand this on my own
O-oh normality is hard to find
Time keeps on slipping
Only the sane will survive
O-oh normality is hard to find
Always easy to pretend but too weak to complain
Just wasting my time (on earth)
When every day is pale and quiet
Time keeps on slipping
Only the sane will survive
Time keeps on slipping
Only the sane will survive

Oh it’s a mess what the nations
gotta witness these days
Watching democracy go down
the end, however, ‘s nowhere to be seen
A little wait, well that’s alright for me
What if this goes on forever, is there something I could do?
Went to bed that night, then woke up wit a dream
To smash an 18th storey window with a 40 inch TV
On 725, 5th avenue
Looking straight down in the eyes of those
Who’ve had their hopes and dreams
Put in a man without a spine
One last tweet before you go
Well You can’t trust anyone but i guess
Biden still sucks less than you
When finally someone whispered
“defeat” in you ear
Fled to a ranch right out of town
Just to get by, just for now
With a wife, or without
I can’t blame her for running off from the scene, oh from the scene
Keep on running from the scene
One last tweet before you go
This might be the hardest lesson but
This country is doing great without you
Better luck next time. Start counting the days
The next election is only 4 years away
One last tweet before you go
Leave decisions on our welfare
To someone less orange than you

When I paid you a visit
On a cold day end of October
There was a warmth around this place
And from the very first second
I was so scared
As this might be a moment of truth
When I rang the bell, counting the seconds until
You open the door
Just a little, just a sneak peak
through the gates of your hell
But this place is different
In so many ways
Your friends at the table they’re making their making plans
new places to visit once the summer has arrived
With your husband and child
Abandoned child
Well, I don’t expect time to stand still
I’ve been wasting my time, an imitation of this
days that will never come back
I feel bad for every day of not moving on
Spent buried in my own thoughts
Now I think to myself
That you can’t wear a crown
With your head bend down
And I start to smile
As I’m watching the raindrops
Fall on to this battle ground
They will last only for a second
On the windshield of my car
Before they’re wiped away
So I guess I’m doing okay
