Matthew Thornton Lyrics - Oh What A Time To Be Alive

Matthew Thornton - Oh What A Time To Be Alive

I thought if I
Could just get it right
What I wanted would just fall right into place
It seems the deal
Is more surreal
Now I'm staying in tryna not touch my face
Tapping on my tiny, shiny window to the world
Trying not to think about the cost that we incurred
Waiting for our lives to start
Trying to find some meaning to fill our empty hearts

It's hard to see
Society
As it blossoms and it festers all at once
As every crisis
Metastasizes
With our countries run by a bunch of greedy incompetents
Don't you sometimes feel like we're in a twisted realm
A sprawling work of fiction with a child at the helm
Throwing random horrors our way
To break up the monotony of horrors now mundane

Oh, what a time to be alive

With all this time
A spiral line
My feet caress the rug like stumpy hands
I eat too much
While I vaguely stay in touch
With every other Alice wandering Wonderland
Feeling more and more each day like everything I do
Is a smile in the dark, is a spark in the vacuum
A whisper in a gale-force wind
A random act of kindness in a litany of sin

But oh what a time to be alive
