David Hodgman - Sonic Wave

A sonic wave is crashing on a secluded cloudy beach
The government is testing its latest weapons of reach
And the soldiers are all lining up in city-scape fatigues
No IDs, names or badges, no more culpability
While the wildfire is raging outside our gated community
And it's making this damn sunset the most beautiful I've ever seen

So let's rent that hall, have a party one last time
I wanna hug and kiss you all, let's lose our fucking minds
I'm going underground, down in that bunker now
Might not be the end but feels like time is running out

A poorly played piano bangs out a familiar melody
A cocktail of spilled whiskey dreams in broken glass under our feet
And an eavesdropped conversation triggers my mainc memory
Buts its futile to face it my sudden bout of melancholy
Dark thoughts start churning out the names of past hurricanes
As we compare high watermarks and note the power of rain

Cheers to a night on the town back with the old crowd
Just like it was back then but there's fewer of us now
So let's sing that song that stood so tall in our young hearts
The chorus of nights they seemed so long, and the outro never starts

But its the fading out that makes us shut our fucking mouths
Pause to exalt all of the other perfect sounds
Yeah its the fading out that makes us shut our fucking mouths
Pause to exalt all of the other perfect sounds
