Sea Change - Thrice

We scoff and roll our eyes

Yeah, we’ve heard this all before in a different guise

These shrill alarmist fears

We don’t deign to entertain them, covering our ears

So where will we go when the waters threaten to wash us away?

And all of our sons and our daughters wilt in the heat of the day?

I feel the sun draw nearer, I feel the sea start to rise

Who’s looking back in the mirror?

Why are they closing —

Why are they closing their eyes?

Now that heavy curtain sways

And the man who stands behind tries to give his name

So we ask ourselves, «Who stands to gain?»

Soon our tired talking points are feeling awfully strained

So where will we go when the waters threaten to wash us away?

And all of our sons and our daughters wilt in the heat of the day?

I feel the sun draw nearer, I feel the sea start to rise

Who’s looking back in the mirror?

Why are they closing —

Why are they closing their eyes?

So where will we go when the waters threaten to wash us away?

And all of our sons and our daughters wilt in the heat of the day?

I feel the sun draw nearer, I feel the sea start to rise

Who’s looking back in the mirror?

Why are they closing —

Why are they closing their eyes?

Why are we closing, why are we closing our eyes?

Why are we closing, why are we closing our eyes?

Why are we closing, why are we closing our eyes?

Why are we closing, why are we closing our eyes?
