Before the Water Gets Too High - Parquet Courts[00:00:00]

Composer：Austin Brown&Andrew Savage&Sean Yeaton&Max Savage[00:00:01]

Seldom have I ever questioned the end[00:00:13]

Still I grow frost when I'm reminded[00:00:16]

Euphemisms on a loop interchange[00:00:26]

Which hands get to turn the final page[00:00:28]

In whose throat belongs the swan song[00:00:32]

Of crisis warming denial change[00:00:34]

Stage TV helps the public explain[00:00:38]

Broadcast beamed into the dry terrain[00:00:41]

Images of drenched survival[00:00:44]

Without hope but soaked with pain[00:00:47]

Consequences of reality felt[00:00:50]

All conditions of humanity built[00:00:53]

On the bridges[00:00:57]

Tent villages waiting for the state to help[00:00:58]

Glass barely bends before it cracks[00:01:03]

Embedded down into our path[00:01:10]

Paved in the crimson of our tracks[00:01:16]

Without the chance of turning back[00:01:23]

Before the water gets too high[00:01:29]

Before the water gets too high[00:01:41]

If the clock strikes midnight[00:01:55]

Then what becomes of our demonstrations[00:01:57]

To which fate have these gatherings fell[00:02:08]

Which halls echo all the chants we yelled[00:02:11]

Into faces on the coins we tossed into the wishing well[00:02:14]

Drinking water on which we subsist[00:02:21]

Mixing into rivers that did not exist yesterday[00:02:23]

When all the warning signs were there but sorely missed[00:02:28]

Whats it worth all the money we made[00:02:32]

Floating idly in a newborn lake[00:02:36]

Far above financial centers[00:02:39]

Cities sink like market rates[00:02:42]

Glass barely bends before it cracks[00:02:45]

Embedded down into our path[00:02:52]

Paved in the crimson of our tracks[00:02:59]

Without the chance of turning back[00:03:05]

Before the water gets too high[00:03:11]

Add up the bribes you take[00:03:14]

And know time can't be bought[00:03:17]

By the profits that you make[00:03:20]

Before the water gets too high[00:03:23]

To float the powers that be[00:03:27]

Or is it someone else job[00:03:30]

Until the rich are refugees[00:03:33]

Before the water gets too high[00:03:37]

Before the water gets too high[00:03:43]

Before the water gets too high[00:03:49]

Before the water gets too high[00:03:56]
