The Orphaning

Storm and sea
Punish us piece by piece
But world economy must grow
If we drown, we drown in luxury
But world economy must grow
Why should we save lives we’ll never meet?
Why should we not destroy?
Why should we not destroy ourselves?
Orphaning the future
Orphaning ourselves
The change we cause will slowly destroy your tiny world
You have nothing to say, you’re helpless, consumed
We’re dancing to the end on volcanoes
Screaming pantomimes in our ears
At night, we set our beds ablaze
Orphaning the future, orphaning ourselves
Why should we save lives we’ll never meet?
Why should we not destroy?
Why should we not destroy ourselves?
Orphaning the future
Orphaning ourselves
We’re dancing to the end on volcanoes
Screaming pantomimes in our ears
At night, we set our beds ablaze
Orphaning the future, orphaning ourselves
