Growin up in a biosphere
with no respect for bad weather
there s still roaches and ants in here
so resourceful and clever.
Her great grandfather saw the future
didn t know nothing bout panic
he certainly probably thought
that it was unthinkable.
There s a trace o mint
wafting in from the north
so we don t fuck with the 401
it s bigger than us or
larger than we bargained
I guess it s just not done.
His great grandfather worked for Goodyear
he d see the blimp on Sundays
wonder what the driver knew
about making rubber tires.

There s submarines out there under the ice
avoiding and courting collision
an accident s sometimes the only way
to worm our way back to bad decisions
My great grandfather was a welder
he helped to build the Titanic
he didn t certainly think
that it was unsinkable.
Building up to the larger point
with an arrogance not rare or pretty
we don t declare the war on idleness
when outside it s cold and shitty.
We stay inside and try to conjure the fathers of
injured and faking
if there s glory in miracles
it s that they re reversible
