Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Arguing with autobots and scrolling till the boredom stops
Fed on a stream of despair, we despair
Dopamine opinion farm, agreement is knowledge
Rage is a commodity, now prove that you care
Imprisoned in our exhibitionism, is anybody there?
Sun's out, off we go, splashing in the med
Still digesting all the bodies it's been fed
Armageddon's nothing new, this moment has its roots in all moments
All days slid here, three hundred thousand years boiled down to this morning
When the smoke clears
The next species to evolve, won’t even know we disappeared
[Chorus]
Make forever with me now
As long as forever lasts
I know it won't be easy when this slips out of our grasp
Springtime’s holding on
But summer's in the grass
Let’s break forever down
Into its separate parts
Forever
[Verse 2]
I’ve not got the stomach for space travel
I don’t want millionaires to colonise mars
It’d be nice to address the mess we made here
Before jetting off to ruin the stars
How can the same lesson repeated through time
Still be the one we can't learn?
Warming our hands on what was holy land
We sit here and watch it all burn
It’s hard not to let it affect you
Our screens are all teeming with ghosts
I s'pose if you turn up the heat incremental
The flesh wont even notice it roasts
[Chorus]
So have forever with me now
And let's make forever last
'Cause we're going to miss forever when we feel it slipping past
Summer’s drinking deep
But Autumn wants a glass
I don’t want to see this finish
So let's not give it the chance
Forever
