Is there anybody out there
Who can hear us?
I'm not quite sure anymore
I own this book in my head
I made up
Being read by someone I don't know
He's old
He looked a bit like grandpa
His grandson's sitting on his lap
I'll die
And they'll watch it burn
And turn to dust
Meanwhile,
I'm sorry because
I guess they'll read
That I grind my teeth at night so much
It's actually pretty impressive
I've still got some left
And I need to build up the courage
To tell my three-year-old-self
That with all the tales out there
Worth a look
They would never be
Reading about me
No, no they would never be
Reading about me
Mmm
"We got 4B coming into the top"
"Hey, we've got the colour now!"
"The Sun's really shining on it"
"Get it on here, babe!"
"OK, I'll try and adjust this for you"
"Beautiful"
If there's anybody out there:
Can you please stop us?
Our skin's slowly getting hot
This war's no joke,
It'll burn us
Grandpa, can't they see
The Earth choke?
No, too blinded
By their bright lights
Tiny screens, perfect traps
Red ties
Building walls of fear and mistrust
Meanwhile, I cry on my phone
I guess they'll read
That we bleach our teeth at night so much
It's actually pretty impressive
We've still got some left
And I bet they'll both
Roll their eyes when realise
We've all made the same
Mistakes again
And we need to build up the courage
To tell our three-year-old-selves
That with all the smoke out there
That ends in our lungs
They won't ever want to read
About us
No, no they would never want to read
About us
"How's the colour?"
"It's really beautiful,
Like hey, we've got it right,
We've framed it perfectly"
"The colour will be beautiful
Once we can show you the Earth"
"Right, we're looking
Real good in the colour"
"Charlie Brown to Macs:
There's cord and wire
Floating around here though"
"Ha ha, just can imagine"
