Burn It All Down

Let’s go, we must pursue it now
Maybe at speed we will soon catch it up somehow.
If it’s gone, yeah it’s gone for eternity.
In fact, yeah, that’s the end of humanity

Could have tried in the past, yeah we might have worked,
But instead we dragged our heels, yeah, you know we shirked,
Turned our backs on our re–sponsibility,
And let waste and ruin be our legacy.

Just a turn that we missed, In this road that we’re on
Like a cruel little twist, Now we look, and it’s gone.

The bitterness in your mouth is the taste of doubt
So you shake and you cough and you spit it out.
Coulda’ sworn you were doing the best you could,
But there’s a world of difference between what we should and would.

Just a turn that we missed, In this road that we’re on
Like the first girl you kissed, Turn around, she’s gone.

I can hardly believe, that we’ve come so far
Just to burn it all down, leave a black gaping scar.

I’ve been having that same dark dream again.
Where the clock’s ticking right down to the end.
And so many things have been left undone,
Like I forgot to pay due respect to the sun.

Just a turn that we missed, In this road that we’re on
Like the whack of a fist, Close your eyes and you’re gone.
