[Chorus]
E B My headphones are playing duet
F# With a Efire engine
B I walk through the cloud of an ex
F# And I Efeel no tension
B All the buildings are blocking the wind
F# Of Elate October
B 'Round the corner, it shoots out again
F# And I'm Estarting over
[Interlude]
BDance, dance
Dance, dance aroundA the door
BDance, dance
Dance, dance aroundA the door
[Chorus]
E Hold Bstill
Limit what youF# see
Be Efree for a while
Lie in Broom like you're lying on a hill
F# There's a mountain on your Ewindow sill
There Bis help for rawF# souls
A Elanguage for the shy
YouB don't have to say F#hello
But Elook them in the eye
[Verse 1]
B Two things, a great fog of stuff, engrossing, fleeting, bewildering
And then,A a feeling of tilt that we're rushing down a slope
Do we not see it all the Btime because we're sliding at the same speed?
A sense of safety preserved by the static distance between us
A Sometimes I try to imagine a village hundred of years ago
Where little chanBges during a lifetime
Maybe the cobbler tries a new heel on a boot, crops are rotated
But nothing changes Ahow people are
What they spend their time doing or thinking about
[Pre-Chorus]
The world is dying,E the world is Bliving
F# E B F#
E
[Chorus]
E B There's something that I should do
F# But I Enever know how
B Things I should say to you
F# But it's Etotal whiteout
E B In the night reading actual air
F# AlEways reforming
B Imagine that I'll be somewhereF# new
EIn the morning
[Verse 2]
B I was asked to write a song about social media
And I didn't want to anyway I'm pretty hooked
So don't feel AI'm in much of a position to critique it
And selfcritique is loaded for me anyBway
Because I've done plenty of that
And while I know that people can identify with it
And get comfort from hearing someone else
AddAress themselves sternly
I'm also trying to get away from selfregard in geneBral
Even though the unexamined life is not worth living
More opposing truths, they're everywhere
Still training to Ahold them
I'm trying look out
Leave the mirror out of it
See the Btree and contemplate it
And not question who or what I am in a relation to the tree
But I don't know what it means yet
That Awe are partially migrating into a silent conversation
[Verse 3]
That seems to be increaEsing unity Band tribalism at once
And maybe the two are racing now without a F#finish line
I was going to say that Elikely few got good thinking
Done during the seventeenth Bcentury Dutch tulip craze
And this is not so different
But I've F#recently been heartened and disappointed to Elearn
That story was greatly exaggerated
AnyBway we're crazy but also we're not crazy we're complicated
F# We want things to be simple
And Ewe polarize into camps and we harden and entrench And B
distort and amplify and shut down and entrench some more
F# Now you don't have to join a drum circle
EAnd get all peace and love and HaightAshbury
And anyway that Btook
Only a few months to turn into a bad scene, hard drug, dysF#topia
Where some people will rob you
AndE you can't be too open but the
Hippies sure had a Bpoint
Empathy is good, lack of empathy is bad
And now F#the lines of nonfacts waiting Eto get in the conversation
Are longer andB longer
And some people can't be beat in an argument
We have to hold to that hippie point harder
Empathy is good, lack of empathy is bad
Holy math says we're never not together
