Did you know that humans have only been on Earth for less than 1% of the planet's existence? Fortunately, we haven't always been the epidemic we are now. However, since 1950, we have managed to use up more fuel and resources than in all of prior human history. 

This is definitely a problem.

DISCLAIMER: This is not the final version of this song; the final version will feature a new bassline (and possibly backup vocals) from Sean Mickel, as well an extended first and second verse, and I will also be singing the chorus and bridges. The delay is due to other projects I'm working on. Much Love to everyone who appreciates this "work in progress" version <3 

"Before We Reach The End (of Our Rope)" 
Myles Rodriguez (feat. Ezra Massey) 

LYRICS 

Verse 1 (The Remembrance):
Do you recall a time when we lived in unity,
prior to us becoming so independent?
We had a strong and sustainable community,
beings would thrive and Mother Earth, resplendent.
Those days are gone since man declared a mutiny
on Cosmic Law, because to us, it's transcendent.
Now our ancestors look upon us full of scrutiny;
What heritage are we leaving for our descendants?

Chorus (The Wish):
Before we reach the end of our rope,
Before we say our final goodnight,
Just be the dim ray of hope,
And bring us back into the light.
[Repeat 2x]

Verse 2 (The Consequences):
Pollute the oceans and sky, with no concern as to why
we're falling ill at a sickening speed.
Wonder if we'll recognize we're poisoning the supply
of the same sustenance we drink and breathe?
Species are going extinct, and we're too sheltered
to think we're on the brink of impending collapse.
But every city is linked, we smell the swelter-
ing stink; let's come together, somethin' like a synapse.

Chorus (The Plea):
Before we reach the end of our rope,
Before we say our final goodnight,
Please be the dim ray of hope,
And lead us back into the light.
[Repeat 2x]

Bridge (The Wavering Faith):
Hopefully before our last run,
Maybe we'll realize we are One,
And while the sun does weigh a ton,
We're far from done; we've just begun.

Verse 3 (The Call to Action):
It's not too late to contribute to
valuable, vast variations!
You wouldn't want to attribute to
the fall of the next generations!
(Now would you?) I didn't think so;
take action instead of complainin'!
All it will take is for us to
stop being blind and complacent!

Bridge (The Affirmed Faith):
Certainly before our last run,
We'll come to realize we are One,
And, yes, a spoonful weighs a ton,
Still far from done, we've just begun.

Chorus (The Conclusion):
Before we reach the end of our rope,
Before we say our final goodnight,
Be that small glimmer of hope,
Bring us back to the light.
