Lyrics

Laying silently atop my bed
Joy, ecstasy, then thoughts of dread
Duality of hope and fear
Dueling to death each night in my ears

Don't let 'em tell you that joy is dead
Don't let 'em get up all in your head
Hashtag hope isn't gathering steam
But hashtag hope doesn't need those memes

First you get the reason, and then you get the rhyme
The world makes sense when you're counting off time
Makes less sense when you're living in fear
They're selling alarm just to peddle us gear

Something broke and we're trolling ourselves
Sipping outrage and drinking ill health
Different ideas don't make us enemies
Freedom of speech and empathy

It's been a long time, and the waiting ain't fun
Just forget the apathy, it's got it all wrong
Waiting for the moment, yeah, waiting for the sun
Waiting in the dark for the morning to come

I'm feeling alright now, feeling just fine
Drums in my ears and rhythm on my mind
blood in my veins and soles on my feet
Vibrating to the mystic beats

Teach me how to transcend my days
Live with joy, understand your ways
Live by grace and your steady right hand
Live at peace with woman and man

It's been a long time, and the waiting ain't fun
Just forget the apathy, it's got it all wrong
Waiting for the moment, yeah, waiting for the sun
Waiting in the dark for the morning to come

It's been a long time, but I know we aren't done
Just forget the apathy, it's got it all wrong
We can do better, it's gonna be fun
It's pitch black, but the morning will come
