Year Zero by Good Riddance Lyrics

Can you hear the current shifting
Set against a fading tide
And even now we brace our shadows
Evidence of the darkest side
And while the past delivers on its final prophecy
Humankind on its collision course with a waiting destiny

Now passing onward
Through the thickness of despair
Regret our actions
But we never thought to care

There's no time for pessimism
Useless to place our blame
We've reached beyond our province
And seen it all go up in flames
Caught up in recollections
They cannot serve us now
We've severed all connections
No one left to show us how
Why waste another day in silence
And with the omens in the air
Can we put or deepest fears behind us
