New Messiah

Lyrics

Today I saw my soul mate. I saw him from afar.
But he was in his own space, on a phone and in a car.
Maybe if I was more plugged in, he would have seen me t
here. But tuning in feels like I’m shruggin off the freedom in the air.
There’s a box to get you here where a box is what you’re in
So that you never have to fear of interacting with the wind.
I feel we’re moving less together, and we’re less inclined to bend
And I been feeling like a feather in a wind that doesn’t end…. Need a messiah…a new messiah.

People go collect their treasures to fill up the hole inside.
Then they use them as a measure for how well they’ve lived their lives.
Doesn’t anybody wonder about anything at all?
Would we rather just be under spells and up against a wall?
Are we a part of a big mission just to give away our rights?
Why do we opt into this prison that will tell us what we like?
Am I really just a fish being sized up by a man?
Is there anything to wish for that I can’t put in my hand
? Find a messiah…a new messiah.

Hush, baby. We are only spinning on a world that’s just a ball.
And this is only the beginning 'cause in space we’re very small.
And it ain’t really gonna matter what you wear or what you own
Or about some corporate ladder if you ain’t happy at home.
Don’t just buy it 'cause you’re frightened. Don’t just do it 'cause it’s done.
Don’t believe that I’m enlightened any more than anyone.
It really doesn’t have to go this way until we’re dead and go
ne. So find someone to hold you close, and you can make another dawn.
You can be a messiah…a new messiah.
