lyrics

One hundred years from now
A mecca of chromatic sights and sounds
An automatic state of being

Organic souls confound
The brain of silicon controls the cloud
No time or space, no limitation

But I won’t be here for it
No I can never know it
I was born a 20th century child

The past is laid to die
The present not so far behind
All cannot stop progressing forward

Why must I see the world pass me by
Once so young and amazed, that wondrous dream
Now a fake of the smile, I stare to space with nothing to see

No way to grow but older, weaker still
In a window of wonder, laughter, pain
Of a magical journey, cut too short, the bodies faint

Your everything is a raindrop
A dot of blue from afar
A modicum in the madrigal of shooting stars

One million years from now
An ocean of emphatic acid towns
Abandoned origin, decaying

But we are everything
The flesh is gone, the metal is the mean
We are the cosmos, but can we sing

Well I won’t be here for it
And I can never know it
I am just a 20th century child

But I know that there’s still time to live it up
And I know that I’m as young as I’ll ever be

But my head is so far from the grounded place
Can’t stop the need to escape the mortal face

And I know that it’s still so damn early
All these dreams are still so possible surely

But my head is so far from a grounded truth
All I want is to follow the sound of youth
