An Argument I’ve Been Making for Years
This is a Sarah McLachlan music video, but it’s so much more. It demonstrates how disgustingly consumeristic and gluttonous our society is.
Hearts are worn in these dark ages
You’re not alone in this story’s pages
The light has fallen amongst the living and the dying
And I’ll try to hold it in, yeah I’ll try to hold it in
[Chorus]
The world’s on fire and
It’s more than I can handle
I’ll tap into the water
Try and bring my share
I try to bring more
More than I can handle
Bring it to the table
Bring what I am able
I watch the heavens but I find no calling
Something I can do to change what’s coming
Stay close to me while the sky is falling
Don’t wanna be left alone, don’t wanna be alone
[Chorus]
Hearts break, hearts mend
Love still hurts
Visions clash, planes crash
Still there’s talk of
Saving souls, still the cold
Is closing in on us
We part the veil on our killer sun
Stray from the straight line on this short run
The more we take, the less we become
The fortune of one man means less for some
[Chorus X2]
