[Verse 1]
A crystal palace… in the snow
Is it for real,
Or just for show
A crystal palace… in the snow

[Chorus]
So, what’s the deal
Do you know
Is the scene just a dream
(Watch it grow)
[Bridge]
Do you know what I mean?
(Careen)

[Verse 2]
A crystal palace… in the snow
The irony’s real
Oh, no, no, no
You can’t grow snow

[Chorus]
So, what’s the deal
Do you know
Is the scene just a dream
(Watch it grow)
[Bridge]
Do you know what I mean?
(Careen)
Out-of-control
(Ripping the seams)
Beyond rock n’ roll
(Ripping at the seems)

[Chorus]
So, what’s the deal
Do you know
Is the scene just a dream
(Watch it grow)
[Bridge]
Do you know what I mean?
(Careen)
Out-of-control
(Ripping the seams)

[Outro]
The ending, stole
(Ripping at the seems)

The devil made me do it
Yes, I do insist

[Verse 1]
The devil made me do it?
Oh, please… just quit
The responsibility
Is on me

Reality
An absentee

Blame hatin’ on Satan
What’s in your heart

‘The devil made me do it’
Such a bad habit
It’s just a shame

[Intro]
Is it ever enough
(Airing your grievances)
Bearing in the rough
(Habitual sequences)

[Verse 1]
When you’re on the run
Anything goes
Till it’s all undone
Then, one knows

Is time slipping through you
Helpless…
Nothing you can do?
Unless…

Hold the light
Delayed lament

(And, there was light)
Step into insight
(Into the light)

Why then…
Take till we break
Why not…

[Intro]
That smoke
Ain’t no joke
Gives a bloke
Cause to choke

[Verse 1]
Starts with a spark
Lighting up the dark
Doesn’t take long
To spread along

[Chorus]
(Ohhh) That smoke
Ain’t no joke
Gives a bloke
Cause to choke

[Bridge]
To relieve
Just don’t breathe
Hold your breath
To avoid death

[Verse 2]
The flames
Fanning higher
Who’s to blame
Preach to the choir

[Chorus]
(Ohhh) That smoke
Ain’t no joke
Gives a bloke
Cause to choke

[Bridge]
To relieve
Just don’t breathe
Hold your breath
To avoid death

[Chorus]
(Ohhh) That smoke
Ain’t no joke
Gives a bloke
Cause to choke

[Bridge]
To relieve
Just don’t breathe
Hold your breath
To avoid death

[Outro]
Hold your breath
Until death

A SCIENCE NOTE
NOAA — Wildfires are an increasing threat to air quality, affecting nearby areas and regions far downwind due to smoke dispersion. A new study published in Environmental Science & Technology examined how wildfire smoke affects the levels of two harmful pollutants, fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone, across the United States from 2018 to 2023. Through an analysis of 600 air monitoring stations and satellite observations, researchers found that wildfire smoke significantly raised PM2.5 and ozone levels, leading to numerous days when air pollution exceeded health standards. Notably, wildfire smoke accounted for 25 percent of all days with unhealthy ozone levels, with 2023 seeing the greatest impact due to severe wildfires in Canada.

BROUSE — A study published in the Journal Nature found Canada’s 2023 wildfires released more carbon into the atmosphere than the annual emissions of all but three countries, underscoring a troubling trend. A new study raises serious concerns that Canada’s forests, long considered crucial carbon sinks, may no longer reliably absorb carbon in the long term.

This signals a dangerous acceleration of global warming, pushing us over a tipping point. Permafrost, once thought to be a stable, frozen barrier, is now thawing and burning year-round, releasing even more carbon and methane into the atmosphere. The resulting domino effect exacerbates climate instability, leading to more extreme weather, rising sea levels, and declining air quality.

These human-driven changes are not just ecological crises — they pose direct threats to human health, increasing the likelihood of premature death due to heatwaves, pollution, and the cascading impacts of an increasingly volatile climate.

About Feedback Loops and Tipping Points

Tipping cascades have emerged between biogeophysical and social-ecological systems. This Domino Effect is causing climate change to accelerate at an exponential rate.

Tipping points are Critical Milestones that directly impact the rate of acceleration in climate change by multiplying the number and intensity of feedback loops. Identifying and understanding these tipping points is crucial for climate science and policymaking. Crossing multiple tipping points could lead to a domino effect, resulting in a much more rapid and severe climate change than currently projected.

[Intro]
Ohh…
To know
To grow

[Verse 1}
Not quite ripe
Too early to harvest
To soon to gripe
If you know what’s best

[Chorus]
It’s hard to find
“Just right”
Hard to define
Appetite

[Bridge]
Watching taste
Go to waste

[Verse 2]
Oh, too late
Missed the time to pick
Would have been great
If you would’ve picked quick

[Chorus]
It’s hard to find
“Just right”
Hard to define
