The Arrivals - The Power Won't Be Staying On For Long lyrics

I used to stand so firm with little give Like a skyscraper, now I'm flash paper I used to think I knew how we could live But now everything's a question Sleight of hand and misdirection Now I see, the forest for the trees It's timber falling down without a sound Talk to your mother 'cause the power won't be staying on for long I used to think that life was what it seemed With our time stable, with our minds able We digitized the beauty that we've dreamed Now a generations' history Floats like ghosts in my periphery Now I see, the forest for the trees It's timber falling down without a sound Talk to your brother 'cause the power won't be staying on for long Talk to your father 'cause the power won't be staying on for long Talk to your mother 'cause the power won't be staying on for long Talk to your sister 'cause the power won't be staying on for long Talk to your mother 'cause the power won't be staying on for long Talk to your brother 'cause the power won't be staying on for long Talk to your neighbor 'cause the power won't be staying on for long Talk to your father 'cause the power won't be staying on for long
