Escape the Clouds - On the Edge Lyrics

We're lonely in the crowd around us
Eyes drawn to our devices
Drowning in digital noise
We talk without conversation
Listen but don't pay attention
Forgetting how to use our voice

We're standing on the edge of a world
Where the future comes far too soon
We can't forget to simplify
Or we'll lose the meaning in our lives

Telegraph, then telephone
Airmail then radio
We shrank the globe
But put so much space between us
We travel the world so easily
Expand ourselves intellectually
But never learn how to love and trust

We're standing on the edge of a world
Where the future comes far too soon
We can't forget to simplify
Or we'll lose the meaning in our lives

Unaffected / Uncorrected
Socially Disconnected
This will ruin us all
This lapse of logic / Tragically comic
Ignorant and so ironic
We run towards our fall

We're standing on the edge of a world
Where the future comes far too soon
We can't forget to simplify
Or we'll lose the meaning in our lives
