"Spaceship Earth (II. Angoscioso)" lyrics

This was meant to be
An ark of meaning, a miracle
In a deep, deep sea
Of nothingness
So can you set me free?
I'm tired of dreaming, it's unbearable
I'm in a deep, deep sea
Of nothingness

Now we're spiraling out of control
It seems like the passengers have hijacked the ship
We're edging towards a black hole
We are gods, I think I'm losing my grip

So can you take, take, take the wheel?
What the hell is even happening?
This is all so, so surreal
So can you take, take, take the wheel?
I can feel my brain unraveling
I just don't know what to feel

We ran from our problems without addressing the cause
We started again without a moment of pause
We took to the stars, made a junkyard out of Mars
Dried up reservoirs, champagne, and cigars
Mass extinctions and wildfires
We shot down the high fliers, but more kept appearing
Endless racketeering
It's kind of like they were mass-produced
And now all the pricks have come home to roost

So can you take, take, take the wheel?
What the hell is even happening?
This is all so, so surreal
So can you take, take, take the wheel?
I can feel my brain unraveling
I just don't know what to feel

So can you take, take, take the wheel?
What the hell is even happening?
This is all so, so surreal
So surreal, so surreal
So can you take, take, take the wheel?
Take the wheel
This is not how I imagined it
I just don't know what to feel
