No One Left to Save Us

There was a time that I knew who I was, and how much I have grown

Now I'm utterly unprotected, pistol-whipped and thrown

Every meaningful connection filters through a mobile phone

So the weight of saying anything is either lost or overblown

Well the sky's on fire, and they'll let it burn

And swear to God it's all to plan

When the ship is listing and the crew's gone under

Grab a hold of what you can

The devil opens his mouth and sells his latest batch of lies

Cultivating a dark and angry road to our demise

But it doesn't feel temporary, it doesn't feel benign

If a path exists to rescue, I will search until I find

But the sky's on fire, and they'll let it burn

And swear to God it's all to plan

When the ship is listing and the crew's gone under

Grab a hold of what you can

The angel traded in her wings for a pair of beat up cowboy boots

A leather jacket and a pack of cigarettes

Then she checked into a cheap hotel just to catch up on some bad TV

And now there isn't anyone to save us

It feels like we've been sucker-punched in spirit and in mind

Not allowed to articulate opposing views in kind

So the painters put away their brushes, the singers close their lips

While the thieves and their adoring rabble cause apocalypse

The angel traded in her wings for a pair of beat up cowboy boots

A leather jacket and a pack of cigarettes

Then she checked into a cheap hotel to catch up on some bad TV

And now there isn't anyone to save us

The devil crashed his car and ran a thousand miles to tell his story

But no one heard a single word he said

Then he threw his hands up in the air but no one paid him any mind

And now there isn't anyone
