Acouasm's dismal state-of-the-world address. But the upbeat sound hints there's still hope for Planet Earth.

Terra RIP

We need a world where kids can play
Wanna be able to look at the sky and know the time of day
What's that smell I ain't walkin' by no pier
Oh, must be all the dead fish floatin' in the lake that's near

You know those purple mountain's majesty?
Well they're for real not like those hills piled high with waste from you and me
So many cars all going nowhere fast
We failed to read the signs, didn't get off, and now this tank is your last

I see this world it's come undone
You know we've all had too much fun
The seas will rise and then we'll fall
Until there's no one... no one

Too much over population density
Social ills, greed, famine, poverty, and war atrocities
And if right and left represents hot to cold
Then we'll see more drastic swings in the political climate that we know

Words of caution, advice shouted out for years
But we're too wrapped up in our little worlds, this makes it hard to hear
And corporate ignorance is bliss today
When we're consuming tomorrow, life's too fast, this ain't the human race

I see this world it's come undone
You know we've all had too much fun
The seas will rise and then we'll fall
Until there's no one... no one

With no vision back we don't foresee
God bless our Terra RIP

What we're eating sure don't taste like days of old
It's like we're lab rats, we're not cage free, we're testing GMOs
Moving forward should not be an afterthought
All those criminals impeding progress make up a stem cell block

The rich are getting richer as the poor fall more behind
But the media and pols never tell ya, we've reached the end of the line
Our earth is a classroom and everything's in view
But they hire education, kill free thinking, and say it's good for you

I see this world it's come undone
You know we've all had too much fun
The seas will rise and then we'll fall
Until there's no one... no one

Begin to Fly

It goes then comes around
Not lost but can't be found
Even in the breaking light of day
Embrace the high and low
Known as a friend or foe
Only your dark shadow is afraid

Like a bird, begin to fly
In the blue that is your endless sky
Rise above the gloom, and then godspeed

Wake up the hand-me-down
With moods like a circus clown
The apple falls close to the family tree
Take a chance on derring-do
In your room without a view
Hope that knows no boundary is the key

Like a bird, begin to fly
In the blue that is your endless sky
Rise above the gloom, and then godspeed

Who needs a new beginning
A life that's worth living

Like a bird, begin to fly
In the blue that is your endless sky
Rise above the gloom, and then godspeed
Use your wings to fly away
From the rainy clouds and foggy daze
High above the doom, you're now home free

Nyctinasty 

Baby come on let's figure out what to do
Last I know I'd left it up to you
So what'd you choose
May I suggest that we do it all yesterday
Why let hours and minutes get in the way

And one fine day
We'll be dancing happy
Then we'll touch the sky
And you will see
Not a thought to cloud your mind

Nyctinasty how we ought to be
Nyctinasty baby you and me

So much to do in only such a little time
Rest assured I'd stop it all on a dime
So you decide
Maybe we wait till we're leaving on holiday
Don't let thoughts and feelings get in the way

And one fine day
We'll be dancing happy
Then we'll touch the sky
And you will see
Not a thought to cloud your mind

Nyctinasty how we ought to be
Nyctinasty baby you and me
