The Flood (Reimagined)

We've seen better days Say we bleed the same, the lies repeating What a life to waste In the dissonance of people screaming Revealing we're living in despair Don't let us trade our worth for what is trending Why are we so condescending? After us the flood And in the world so cold and so demanding There can be no happy ending After us the flood Did we miss the sign? How could we ignore all premonitions? Faulty by design It's implied we're faultless but our ambitions Are vicious, we're going to lose it all Don't let us trade our worth for what is trending Why are we so condescending? After us the flood And in the world so cold and so demanding There can be no happy ending After us the flood It's in my head It's something I can't stand Tell me how dare we Treat everyone with disrespect Why do we assume without a doubt We're the ones this planet spins around It goes without saying The levees are breaking Forever we'll bear what cannot be undone Don't let us trade our worth for what is trending Why are we so condescending? After us the flood And in the world so cold and so demanding There can be no happy ending After us the flood
