From the recording High Hopes

Lyrics

I’ve been dreaming, I’ve been fretting
What comes next, what could come next
Everything is crumbling, catapulting into chaos
Even what we can see, were completely lost
Somethings remain, true and untouchable
Like flowers are pretty, sunshine brings warmth
You can’t sprawl forever
You can’t grow a garden
In the shadow of a new condo

I’m finding hard to imagine a future
Feeding myself without the grocery store shelf
Everything is stopping, coming to a halt
All the tension building might never get resolved
Somethings continue, growing uncontrolled
You can’t see fear even with a microscope
You can’t sprawl forever
You can’t grow a garden
In the shadow of a new condo

I’m trying to remember, what life was like
With an illusion of safety, empty promises of plenty
Nothing seems to matter you can’t out run the rot
The stench of destruction will follow and then blind you
Something unclear will try to shine a light
Remind you to breathe, be humble be alive
You can’t sprawl forever
You can’t grow a garden
In the shadow of a new condo
