"The Future Is Coming Fast" lyrics

John Moreland Lyrics

"The Future Is Coming Fast"

By now we all know how this goes
A digital mirage of home
Candy apples painted chrome
I'm praying we can walk the wire
And keep our feet above the fire

The news keeps steady coming in
Our condition shows its teeth again
A nightmare we all thought would end
How far is it gonna go?
Do we really wanna know?

The souls are filling up the streets
Burning with a holy heat
But we don't grieve, and we don't rest
We just choose the lie that feels the best

So leave the banners at half mast
Until nature takes them down at last
The future, it is coming fast
The future, it is coming fast
