The Last Song On Earth - Emily Warren

There was a time

When all the doors closed

Boarded up the storefronts

Sent everyone home

No one was driving

The air was all clean

Just one of the reasons

I was grateful to breathe

What were we doing

What did we know

Before we all noticed

A hole in the boat

Sinking and swimming

Thinking were living

Ran out of lipstick to put on the pig

So don’t rock me back to sleep

Cuz i’m wide awake

And i’m done with counting sheep

I’ve had it that way

It’s not my job but it might be my turn

To get up and put in the work

This won’t have to be

The last song on earth

When there’s nothing to do

All day to do it

If you don’t use your kindness

You’re likely to lose it

It’s only human

To step outside the door

With phone keys and wallet

And a little unsure

What were we doing

What did we know

Before we all noticed

A hole in the boat

Sinking and swimming

Thinking were living

Ran out of lipstick to put on the pig

So don’t rock me back to sleep

Cuz i’m wide awake

And i’m done with counting sheep

I’ve had it that way

It’s not my job but it might be my turn

To get up and put in the work

This don’t have to be

The last song on earth

What were we doing

What’s the excuse

Can’t turn off the world

Like we turn off the news

Took off the blinders

Learned how to listen listen

Remember this feeling and hope for forgiveness

So don’t rock me back to sleep

Cuz i’m wide awake

And i’m done with counting sheep

I’ve had it that way

It’s not my job but it might be my turn

To get up and put in the work

This don’t have to be the

Last song on earth
