Arrivals - The Power Won't Be Staying On For Long lyrics

rate me

I used to stand so firm with little give

Like a skyscraper, now I’m flash paper

I used to think I knew how we could live

But now everything’s a question

Sleight of hand and misdirection

Now I see, the forest for the trees

It’s timber falling down without a sound

Talk to your mother ‘cause the power won’t be staying on for long

I used to think that life was what it seemed

With our time stable, with our minds able

We digitized the beauty that we’ve dreamed

Now a generations’ history

Floats like ghosts in my periphery

Now I see, the forest for the trees

It’s timber falling down without a sound

Talk to your brother ‘cause the power won’t be staying on for long

Talk to your father ‘cause the power won’t be staying on for long

Talk to your mother ‘cause the power won’t be staying on for long

Talk to your sister ‘cause the power won’t be staying on for long

Talk to your mother ‘cause the power won’t be staying on for long

Talk to your brother ‘cause the power won’t be staying on for long

Talk to your neighbor ‘cause the power won’t be staying on for long

Talk to your father ‘cause the power won’t be staying on for long
