New Day (single)

New Day 03:47
When you left your home You’d seen enough, seen enough You needed to know what was beyond What was above You’d been living it up But it wasn’t a home, wasn’t a home You set out alone, you hustled and groaned Set up a home When the patterns fade just incinerate All the lies handed down from the gilded age Burn up every trace of the settled ways Draw a line out, a model for a new day Now we feel the seams Coming undone, coming undone A chance to breathe, re-conceive To overrun It’s out of control, this land that we love Land that we love There’s no line to patrol, so go with the flow Make it a home These are hallowed days So fix your gaze, fix your gaze Take the battered remains and make a new way A new day When the powers fade just obliterate all the lies handed down from the gilded age Tear up every trace of the settled ways Draw a line out, a model for a new day When the levees break, let the waters rage ride the tide out and land it on a higher plain Set the house ablaze and celebrate Draw a line out, a model for a new day

Save It 03:34
It’s coming down All the rain we could see was coming It’s coming down, all around And we sink where our feet our running On the line There’s a light in the distance dawning We can stay, fade away Or we run until the rain's not falling You say you want to save it And I say you should save it But I’m not looking back You say you want to save it But I say you should save it ‘Cause I’m not going back You say you want to save it And I say you can save it But I’m not looking back You say you want to save it But there’s nothing here worth saving And I’m not going back You don’t wanna face it But I just wanna waste it I’m not looking back You say you won’t erase it I say we should raze it I’m not going back
