Up to Your Knees Lyrics by Instilled In Me

The Shape of Life

2020

How did it come to this?
Years away from irreversible damage and what a privilege it is...
To inherit the world of today
Thanks for all the factors you put in play
Paradise laid to waste by those born with silver taste
If dollars are all you crave then that's all you will save
Sunset ideals
Time to put it to rest
There’s no defense for the way that we are letting it slip
Through our fingers like sand in water
Washed away while the currents rage
Rivers flood our homes
Grave dangers fill the sky
Weather redesigned
Follow the shoreline as it moves inland
Shallow graves on the coast
Nothing left but drowning ghosts
We will live to see the sunken shores beneath the sea
Where our homes used to be
So long we were complacent
Through it all... we were drowning
Up to your knees
Sunk ground beneath your feet
Wealth is all you crave
Send the planet to its grave
This looks like a funeral for our home
You set it ablaze and let the fires rage
Flood the rest so that none may remain
If we try we won't have to give up
Every time things start to get tough
We won't, no we can’t give in
You know this world is worth saving
And it's not going to last if we won't change
This is where it all began
This is our celestial home
The only one we have and all we know
Pale blue dot, what is your fate?
