Mansions In Floodplains
1000 generations - 《Turn Off The Lesser Lights》
She wakes up from her suburban slumber
And makes her bed in all her teenage tragedies
She thinks she lives outside the box
But the world goes on beyond her block
This is not the end of all there is to be
He may think he’s got the world all figured out
And he may sit right in the lap of luxury
But when the tides come rolling in
The crowns that sink won’t help him swim
This is not the end of all there is to be
We’re building mansions in floodplains
And climbing ladders that just lead to the ceiling
We’re running races that will never have endings
Then where will we go? Where will we go?
So dig out all the hooks that drag you down
And turn off all the lesser lights so you can see
That there is life beyond the lines
Inside the mystery that defines
This is not the end of all there is to be
This is not the end of all there is to be
Don’t you want to live for something more?
Don’t you want to live for something more?
Don’t you want to live for something more than yourself?
