Ebb and Flow Lyrics

In the basement waiting for a statement

But station’s frequency is vacant

Why don’t we go outside

In the break room waiting for a big boom

Smoke haze rising in a big plume

Everyone’s dissatisfied

The pools have dried

The trial’s been tried

But the leak’s still spilling

They don’t know what to do

The flow won’t stop

Pressure still won’t drop

Tanks are overfilling

Forward we crawl

Backwards we fall

Through the ebb and the flow

Living within a dream

Wading through the stream

Beyond the ebb and flow

Up late to earn the proceeds

All stressed out

Working until your eyes bleed

Overtime to buy things

We don’t need

Always on the go

And you’re thirty thirty

Gotta make the ends

And get dirty dirty

Will it ever stop

Will it ever end

Is it worthy

Reality of this is

You go loco loco

And too much of this way

And you’ll go postal postal

Happens all the time

Get in line

And go comatose

The moms and pops

Have all closed up shop

And who can blame them?

I don’t know anyone

The kids just hide

Scared to go outside

And just who can blame them?

At times it seems unreal

We can see but we can’t feel

And no one’s at the wheel

Born here all alone

Growing old with hearts of stone

The lights are on but no one’s home

Forward we crawl

Backwards we fall

Through the ebb and the flow

Living within a dream

Wading through the stream

Beyond the ebb and flow

Imagine we have made

Cross and fade

And through the ebb and the flow
