Species in Transition

They said we’d never make it

So I’m putting on this face just for show

I’ll tell you in all honesty

It’s a long way down and far below

Do you remember talking?

And just what that used to really mean

It doesn’t seem nostalgic

When the world is tearing at the seams

 

Oh let go, you’re just part of the condition

So goodbye, to the species in transition

 

They said we’d never wake up

That we’d always choose eternal sleep

And where’s the use for compromise

When the water here is way too deep

We’re waving and we’re drowning

As a consequence we rarely see

When the broken record starts again

That it’s all the same to you and me

 

Oh let go, you’re just part of the condition

So goodbye, to the species in transition

 

Well it kind of seems inevitable

I’ll call it fate for what it’s worth

And when the candle finally dies

I will get up and walk off the earth

 

Oh let go, you’re just part of the condition

So goodbye, to the species in transition
