Break The Dam, Release The River
Yeah, I'd sure be sad to see it go.
The whole world erupting would put on quite a show.
After so many questions, I guess we'd finally know,
At least I'll get to say that I told you so.
Not a question of "if" but "when".
We can breathe again, because the last wave missed us.
It's just a matter of time, they say,
With one eye on the bay, while fires rage from Mumbai to Texas.
Though we can't stop living for fear of "what ifs",
We can still make ready while the storm is out at sea.
Or say fuck all that and fuck you all because I got mine, right?
Oh Stephen, how you've failed us all.
Like a guard dog howling at lights passing in the night
While thieves break in through the back, you're missing the point.
Not a question of "if" but "when".
We can breathe again, because the last wave missed us.
It's just a matter of time, they say,
With one eye on the bay, while fires rage from Mumbai to Texas.
