about

/
It's hard to retain any sense of optimism when the fate of humanity hinges entirely on the political will to act on addressing the climate crisis.

In a choice between our own survival and business as usual, it seems that we are doomed to be passengers in a car hurtling towards a wall at breakneck speed.

Instead of even thinking about hitting the brakes we are flooring the gas and simultaneously deriding anybody who suggests braking to be part of some radical, 'anti-growth' coalition.

So it seems we are endlessly stuck in a Doom Loop.

This is a song about those doom loop blues. The ones that we are all struggling with.

We're drowning if this doesn't change.

lyrics

The future
Give a fuck about your chances of a future
Be neutral
I’ve always been suspicious of a protest
It’s fiction
I can shout until we find another subject
Do the numbers
I’m running out of patience for your pretext

So call me when the market fails
Yeah
Call me when the power runs out
Your 'anti hope' coalition
Well you can go and fuck yourselves

But as the tide around us starts to double
The tipping of the triggers
And bridges start to buckle
The moment breaks upon you
This time was the way out

And we were watching as the sky turned
And here's another round of empty words
But boy you’ll have to sell your soul
For a future on this dust ball world
And it's falling just like pouring rain
And we're drowning if this doesn't change
But it's just as though we never learned
As we sit and watch tomorrow burn

It’s crippling
To bring a child in to a world with no hereafter
To be silent
Wish away this problematic congress
The shameless
Live in fear of the future leaves me breathless
There’s no progress
Technological decline into disaster

We were screaming that the models failed
We were screaming that the time was out
Your 'anti future' coalition
Well you can go and fuck yourselves

But as the world around us starts to buckle
We were balanced on the brink
As leaders drag their knuckles
There’s no escaping this now
The generation that betrayed itself

And we were watching as the sky turned
And here's another round of empty words
But boy you’ll have to sell your soul
For a future on this dust ball world
And it's falling just like pouring rain
And we're drowning if this doesn't change
But it's just as though we never learned
As we sit and watch tomorrow burn

The wolf's in the house
He's not gonna stop
They sky's falling down
The roof has come off
The cat's out the bag
The rains coming down
And there's no way out
There's no way back now
The sky's falling in
The rains coming down
There's no backing out
There's no way back now
