about

"We made this over a long span of time. This was piecemealed for what I think might have been about a year and a half."

lyrics

There’s too many mothers
Naming their daughters
After towns and names of streets

There’s too many fathers
That name their sons after heroes on TV

But that’s a big mistake
If that's the choice you choose to make
Cause heroes die and the buildings in the sky won’t remain

There’s too many whispers
Too many secrets
In the town of Cypress Creek
Cause all my lovers there
Have found another
And have forgotten how to speak

But that’s a big mistake
If that’s the route you choose to take
Cause all those lies, they never could disguise
Now they fake

And all the mountains
And all the oceans have fallen and dried up
And all that we’re left with
Six billion people finally ready to be loved

But if we call it quits
Saying this is life and that was it
Then all your days
That you had slaved away
Just to say

We gave up?
