[Intro]
I pour out my essence
To a muted response

[Verse 1]
I’ve been trying to tell you
All about my point-of-view
How what I learned is new
Influencing what I do

Does it fall on deaf ears
Crocodile tears

[Chorus]
I pour out my essence
To a muted response
My effervescence
And, you don’t care
[Bridge]
Are you even there?

[Verse 2]
Expressing my feeling
About all of your dealings
How you’ve done my wrong
Laid out in song

To a muted response
My effervescence
And, you don’t care

A SCIENCE NOTE
A song about glaciers turning into relative humidity. The greatest health risk from climate change to those alive today is the increased moisture content in the air (relative humidity) combined with the increased temperatures.

The largest health risk to people in the future could be sea level rise. If we can keep CO2 equivalents to 500 ppm or so, we may be able to hold East Antarctica; however, if that goes, expect another couple hundred feet of sea level rise.

[Verse 1]
The irate shopper leaned onto the balls of his feet
As he spoke, punctuating each syllable
by repeatedly stabbing a dagger-like finger
in the direction of the salesman’s face.
[Heavy Drop]
onto the balls of his feet
[Break]
[Bridge]
Although Madelyn could hear the words,
she didn’t register their meaning.
She didn’t need to, though.
[Heavy Drop]
[Chorus]
The stranger’s tone said more than the words
… leaving his mouth ever could.
The stranger’s tone said more than the words
… leaving his mouth ever could.

The stranger’s tone said more than the words
… leaving his mouth ever could…
