"Can't Hold Your Breath" lyrics
"Can't Hold Your Breath"
It's pouring in California, swimming cars down avenues
Plastic islands in the ocean, and we're drinking it too
We ate through the Auk, now we're chewing through trees
Poisoned the Ohio, we're a mean disease
We've gotten so hungry, hungry hands, hungry eyes
We're worse than the locust, no twig left behind
We dig up what's buried, it's dark what we do
Exhume all the fossils, burn skeletons for fuel
You can't hold your breath for the rest of your life
You can't hold your breath for the rest of your life
This is the rest of your life
We drained eleven plants plus into the Delaware
They say it's safe to drink the water, it isn't, but who cares?
It's pouring in California, more brush for wilder fires
The amount of chemical in the air's getting higher
You can't hold your breath for the rest of your life
You can't hold your breath for the rest of your life
It's not safer inside
We'll all have cancer, don't matter who smoked
You think it's tough now to swallow, wait till it scrapes against your throat
Real estate's going quick, the migration's begun
But wherever we live will be too lethal to live on
You can't hold your breath for the rest of your life
There's nowhere to run, there's nowhere to hide
It's not safer inside
We're running out of time

Luke Combs - "Tomorrow Me" Telephone rings, can I come over?
It's kinda just the way things go since we've been over
I know what you want, and I want it, too
The problem is what's wrong with it's the bigger issue
Tomorrow me...
Gretchen Wilson - "Into The Mystic" We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won
As we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky

'Cause Grace has a gun
She's not foolin’ around, she don't keep it for fun
Make sure you approach her

Yola - "I Don't Wanna Lie" I don't wanna lie, I don't wanna lie
I don't wanna tear you apart
I don't wanna lie, I don't wanna lie
I told you right from the start
Since we got a moment to talk
Why don't we just sit right down...
