lyrics

We’re Livin in the anthropocene
Cus the trees are filled with C14
Left over from the bomb peak
In the 1960s

I’m waiting on a mega tsunami
When the canary islands fall into the sea
The waves on the east coast will be 300 feet

The dinosaurs started dying in the carribbean
When a meteorite hit ten kilometers wide
The earth boiled and then it froze
Ushered in a new epoch thats the way the world turns

We’re so good at dying we’ve been doing it for so long
But the scales are terrifying and we’re afraid of doing it wrong
The earth is 4.5 billion years into its solar rotation
We’re just one glimpse into one small moment
Who knows where we are going

At the end of the permean period 95% of life died
The 5 that survived mass extinction evolved and carried on alright
Now our population is causing an extinction of its own
We’re destroying our planet and killing ourselves
But we’ll die before we kill our home

We’re so good at dying we’ve been doing it for so long
But the scales are terrifying and we’re afraid of doing it wrong
The earth is 4.5 billion years into its solar rotation
We’re just one glimpse into one small moment
Who knows where we are going
