Thrice - Sea Change (Sea Change - Single) lyrics

We scoff and roll our eyes
Yeah, we've heard this all before
In a different guise
These shrill alarmist fears
We don't deign to entertain them
Covering our ears

So where will we go when the
Waters threaten to wash us away?
And all of our sons and our daughters
Wilt in the heat of the day?
I feel the sun draw nearer
I feel the sea start to rise
Who's looking back in the mirror?
Why are they closing -
Why are they closing their eyes?

Now that heavy curtain sways
And the man who stands behind
Tries to give his name
So we ask ourselves, "Who stands to gain?"
Soon our tired talking points
Are feeling awfully strained

So where will we go when the
Waters threaten to wash us away?
And all of our sons and our daughters
Wilt in the heat of the day?
I feel the sun draw nearer
I feel the sea start to rise
Who's looking back in the mirror?
Why are they closing -
Why are they closing their eyes?

So where will we go when the
Waters threaten to wash us away?
And all of our sons and our daughters
Wilt in the heat of the day?
I feel the sun draw nearer
I feel the sea start to rise
Who's looking back in the mirror?
Why are they closing -
Why are they closing their eyes?

Why are we closing
Why are we closing our eyes?
Why are we closing
Why are we closing our eyes?
Why are we closing
Why are we closing our eyes?
Why are we closing
Why are we closing our eyes?
