lyrics

Canaries

some threats are invisible
chernobyl and now this
i must love you from afar
and send a phantom kiss

grief expresses through the lungs
a world now drowned in tears
we were just too frantic then
to notice all those years

feel the spirits battle
between the dark and light
silent dangers chase us down
we must get balance right

we ignored the fallout
or heard and turned away
racing hard toward the edge
brought closer every day

but we mostly saw just us
each huffing to get by
there’s no species counsel here
for guidance from on high

chorus

you can’t bank compassion
not like the bottom line
now the dying cannot breath
canaries in the mine

feel the spirits battle
between the dark and light
silent dangers chase us down
we must get balance right
