[Verse 1] We used to dream of flying cars and cities in the sky Now we're counting carbon parts and watching glaciers die The calendar got broken when we burned through every year The Anthropocene has spoken, made the future disappear [Chorus] Time got ruptured, future's gone We're mourning what we've never known Living in the ruins now Of tomorrow's broken vow Deep time laughs at human plans While we slip through shifting sands [Verse 2] Preemptive mourning fills our days for losses yet to come We grieve the vanished tomorrows before the damage done No more apocalyptic tales of endings clean and neat Just ruins growing day by day beneath our weary feet [Chorus] Time got ruptured, future's gone We're mourning what we've never known Living in the ruins now Of tomorrow's broken vow Deep time laughs at human plans While we slip through shifting sands [Bridge] Extractivism steals the years Leaves nothing for the ones who follow Every barrel, every mine Makes tomorrow more hollow [Verse 3] Deep time measures in the stones what we measure in heartbeats Our whole civilization's just a moment that retreats Against the vast geology our lifetime disappears But we're the ones deciding what remains throughout the years [Chorus] Time got ruptured, future's gone We're mourning what we've never known Living in the ruins now Of tomorrow's broken vow Deep time laughs at human plans While we slip through shifting sands [Outro] In the ruins we must learn How to tend what still can grow Though the future's bridge has burned There's still love we need to show
