Perfect World

We get to be, a ripple in the water We get to be a rock that's thrown We get to be a boy on the bridge Standing over the reservoir See the water lap along the shore line The buried forest of a man made lake Cemeteries are laying underneath it Your heart like a dam when it breaks We are floating, we are swimming And in this moment we are forgetting What it costs, what it takes For one perfect world When we look the other way I'm okay, if I don't look a little closer I'm OK if I don't see beyond the shore I'm OK if I don't have to do the killing Or know what the killing is for We are talking, we are driving And in this moment we are denying What it costs, what it takes For one perfect world When we look the other way It's one perfect world When we look the other way It's one perfect world When we look the other way It's one perfect world If you can't see beyond the myth of isolation And the miracle of daybreak doesn't move you anymore Connect the points and see the constellations As the night comes down on the reservoir We are swimming, we are floating And in this moment we are beholden to What it costs, to what it takes For one perfect world Can we learn to live another way? It's one perfect world Can we learn to live another way? It's one perfect world Can we learn to live another way? It's one perfect world We get to be a ripple in the water
