I see us on a rainy day
About a year from now
And I hear you say
You don't like it when it's  grey

In ten years they'll be all around
On the streets, in our house
And I listen to the sound
Gentle buzzes all around


Then I joked that if they went away
We'd be lost and damned
And so they stayed
Our fate machine made

Then I joked they didn't need us now
I laughed you cringed
Our final bow
Not too many years from now


And we said join 'm if you can't beat 'm

We won't feel the rain
When they upload our brains

The Singularity

I've spent 28 years on this planet
And I've gotta hand it, to Earth, it hasn't been all bad
I've eaten, and boy have I drank
So many nights, I could have sworn I sank

I've met a few folks and I've lost a few
We've shared moments, and we've all got shit to do
Now some say humanity's bad, 
but I'm glad to have found that just ain't true

Living this life is like reading a book
It's been okay so far, but where is it going
Sometimes this life is like watching a play
How is this second act going to unfold, I ain't got all day

What is the conflict, that I should resolve
Am I even playing the lead role?
Did I miss the dramatic irony
What is my one fatal flaw?

But I guess that's just life, and that's fine
You don't know the end, and you don't rehearse your lines
In 30 odd years this place won't be the same
Will I have learned to play the game?
Will I be old, grumpy and tame?
Did I take you for granted?
Did we colonize a planet?

Hasn't Been All Bad

We're all strapped in
for a trip in a can of tin
We watch the lady explain
what to do when this thing goes down the drown
We won't be okay
A floaty couldn't save the day
My stomach tries to run
There's no denying, lift off has begun

I can't be on this plane forever

Who's to blame?
Let me bow my head in shame
Didn't take the train
Cause RyanAir deals are so insane
And now we're violently shaking
Cause Mother Earth knows what we're taking
And now I'm scared alive
Cause mankind's taking a nosedive

I can't be on this plane forever

Everyone's asleep
Get out your seat
Get your parachute
Make a big salute
Time to go

Stall no more
Open up the door
Grab the stewardess
She might like you less
Oh well

Scared to death
You take a big breath
Everybody shouts
Sky pulls you out
Goodbye

Aim for land
Find water, build a tent
Grow a population
Build transportation

Repeat
