lyrics
[verse 1]
mayday!
there's a situation in the city.
mayday!
there's something goin' on here.
the buildings have been robbed, thru the town.
and the houses, filled with zombies, on the internet.
and roller coasters and telephones will change the course of your day,
and theres lots of things i'd really like to say.
and no one knows how to stay alive so you can stay with me.
we can explore the city while it's here.
[verse 2]
mayday!
the fire is unbearable, but it spreads.
mayday!
all the people are being evacuated somewhere else.
and the news wants a piece of it, but they keep a distance;
and maybe they would help if they knew how.
and people travel across the world to find a brand new home,
but theres something wrong with every single place.
and no one knows how to stay alive so you should stay with me,
we can explore the planet while its here.
[bridge]
we sing the may day while the world keeps in it's play.
pawn after pawn, no one has given any thought.
we sit around at this broken world
but i will still be there. you can see it.
it's super messy what the world has just become.
i cant describe what it means to see this done.
one world for one is the deal they've made
but i don't believe it, but i can see it
and i guess we'll see things change
[verse 3]
mayday!
the children play outside
and they scream mayday;
why is it always this way?
then they go home and play on their phones till 4am in the night,
and they stay up while everyones offline.
no one knows how to stay alive so please stay with me,
we can explore our feelings while they're here.
[ending]
mayday!
i had a dream, and you weren't in it.
i was lonely, and abandoned.
when will you be back?
mayday!
there's a situation in the city.
mayday!
there's something goin' on here.
the buildings have been robbed, thru the town.
and the houses, filled with zombies, on the internet.
and roller coasters and telephones will change the course of your day,
and theres lots of things i'd really like to say.
and no one knows how to stay alive so you can stay with me.
we can explore the city while it's here.
