living in the future

Dawes

I know all of my exits
I m always planning my escape
It s the most aggressive symptom
Of this collective phantom pain
And the more that you ignore it
The more it makes you go insane
Just look around

It s the battle of the passwords
It s the trumpets on the hill
It s that constant paranoia
It s the final fire drill
And if you won t sing the anthem
They ll go find someone else who will
They re cracking down

We re living in the future, so shine a little light
It may not make it any better, I m just hoping that it might
I m not talking about forever
how about just getting through the night?
We re living in the future, so shine a little light

I m always looking over shoulders
Not knowing what I m looking for
Now that the feeling someone s watching
Isn t just a feeling anymore
Now that both sides of the aisle
Are this good at keeping score
We ve crossed a line

But there s a madness to the method
There s a market for the fear
It s that dance out on the razor s edge
The wolf held by the ear
It s the man behind the curtain
It s the way of all frontiers
Since the dawn of time

We re living in the future, so shine a little light
It may not make it any better, I m just hoping that it might
I m not talking about forever
how about just getting through the night?
We re living in the future, so shine a little light

We re living in the future, so shine a little light
It may not make it any better, I m just hoping that it might
I m not talking about forever
how about just getting through the night?
We re living in the future, so shine a little light
