Through the Chaos Lyrics

Our world is crazy

Well, obviously

Throughout history

Things have been wacky

But there are eras that seem much stranger

Than what came before, and we're in danger

Though there are terrors and bizarre events

And there will be more without our consent

We can't afford to be weighted down, hopelessly

We don't get any choice into what world we're born

I know that you're tired, that the world's on fire

That you think that your voice is so old and too worn

But the alternative is to die, so live

Through these awful years, save up your tears

Control is not ours, count out your dollars

They won't save you if all this is true

Through the chaos, we must forge on

Through the darkness, we must stay strong

Patience is our only ally

Thought it is hard, we must still try

We cannot win every battle

But that doesn't mean we're chattel

Though I doubt that we have free will

We can fight or we can be still

I know clowns lead us

Who may not heed us

And poorly treat us

But they still need us

We probably won't win

So bubble, meet pin

Though it seems a sin

For our future kin

As just one person, how can I invest

In any outcome, I will do my best

Any man, woman, or nonbinary

Can do so little, at least consciously

But if we time traveled, and the world unraveled

It might be a small thing, a thing done by just one

But in here, in the now, we cannot say just how

Future events will bring us to the conclusion

But what else can we do? We must see it through

Through these awful years, save up your tears

Control is not ours, count out your dollars

They won't save you if all this is true

Through the chaos, we must forge on

Through the darkness, we must stay strong

Patience is our only ally

Thought it is hard, we must still try

We cannot win every battle

But that doesn't mean we're chattel

Though I doubt that we have free will

We can fight or we can be still

This world is broken, or will be

At least for humans who can't see

All of the damage that we've done

There is no shortage of blame: everyone

Maybe we're past due on this bill

We're long overdue - overkill

Maybe it seems so, but I think

There's no where to go: we are on the brink

Through the chaos, we must forge on

Through the darkness, we must stay strong

Patience is our only ally

Thought it is hard, we must still try

We cannot win every battle

But that doesn't mean we're chattel

Though I doubt that we have free will

We can fight or we can be still

Through the nonsense, we must forge on

Through the bleakness, we must stay strong

Patience is a useful virtue

Though I know the truth might hurt you

We can never win this great war

And I think that we are done for

Though I doubt that we will survive

At least for now, we're still alive
