Cy Curnin - In the Blink of an Eye Lyrics

When I think about it
A flower in a rainstorm
Holding its head up high
The thing that'll save it
Same thing that harms it
I wonder why
A reflection of the seasons
Witnessing the change in light
Disappearing so discretely, like the melting ice
Have we gone mad so completely
That we choose to deny
Extinction in the blink of an eye

Now we come face it
No lie can erase it
Smoke signals in the sky
No more alone time
Compliant in a collective crime
Returning to the scene

Skeptics, cynics
We're mesmerized by the fire
Consumed by greed, the landfills piling high
Everything we possess just becomes
A roadblock in our minds
Extinction in the blink of an eye

Now's the only future
The end's a little closer
