Sunshine

We were blind to every sign
That we should’ve seen
In a clear, unbroken line
Machine to machine
Our mistakes were the future
But no one could tell
Long on bitcoin and regret
With not much to show
The roaches took the kitchenette
We just let it go
Walked away as the skyline
Crumbled and fell
We could have stayed
Inside the city the machines had made
But we took our time
Here in the sunshine!
Cast the shadow of a world that’s gone
Sunshi-i-i-i-ine
Paint the edges of the road we’re on
Sunshi-i-i-i-ine
Every bit was filed away
The world on a drive
They lost Steve, but they got Ray
If he’s still alive
We don’t hear from the inside, not anymore
When we watch the wall at night
The tops of the trees
Reflect a cold and blue-ish light
A sudden unease
If there’s nobody left
Then who is it for?
We soldier on
Such a short ride
Lightbulbs and batteries are almost gone
Like a steep slide
Watch the world unwind
On the outside
Here in the sunshine!
Cast the shadow of a world that’s gone
Sunshi-i-i-i-ine
Paint the edges of the road we’re on
Sunshi-i-i-i-ine
The color of the sky
The shape of a kiss
Everything I have
But not what I miss
All this time
The moon was waiting for this
All the rest has slipped away
Just me and the wall
I won’t last another day
And here where I fall
Marks the end of a great big
Beautiful thing
And who will see?
Such a short ride
There’s no one left who can remember me
Like a steep slide
But today is mine
On the outside
Here in the sunshine!
Cast the shadow of a world that’s gone
Sunshi-i-i-i-ine
Paint the edges of the road we’re on
Sunshi-i-i-i-ine
Cast the shadow of a world that’s gone
Sunshi-i-i-i-ine
Paint the edges of the road we’re on
Sunshi-i-i-i-ine
