Ozymandias - single

Lyrics

Yesterday you were a monsoon
blowing through the  bedroom
overflowing flooding all my cares away
today you’re just a heatwave
burning up the highway
turning all the fallow fields to clay
tomorrow you’re a snow storm
nobody can get warm
your icy wind is cutting to the bone
at night you make the earthquake
fracture into heartbreak
shaking all the skyscrapers to stone

I feel like I’ve never been the
earth in  all her
vicious joy so what’s it like to gain the world
but lose your lose your mother

big shot
shaking it around
a billion on the block to play 
but one drop
and you’ll be on the ground
begging for a chance to stay

look me in the eye
deny
no matter how you try
all your riches turn to dust
washing out, down
deserts all around
you’re just ozymandias

Now your corporation's global
you’re a super mogul
taking pleasure trips to outer space
chopping down the old growth
pumping up your portfo
carving monuments to save your face
you can bottle ice caps
Sell it back in six packs
islands in the ocean of your trash
You’re a force of nature
terraforming glaciers
too bad your species may not last

I feel like I’ve never felt the 
earth in  all her
vicious joy
so what’s it like to gain the world
but lose your lose your mother
