[Intro]
As the light
Turns to night
Tonight
Is in sight

[Verse 1]
On the verge
Of night and day
The rays purge
Dark’s at play

[Bridge]
As the light
Turns to night
(Tonight)
Is in sight
In the thrust
(… of dusk)

[Chorus]
It’s getting darker now
(Can we hold on somehow)
Will we find our way
(Out of yesterday)

[Verse 2]
Are we prone
To enter the twilight zone
Approaching the night
Light’s loosing sight

[Bridge]
As the light
Turns to night
(Tonight)
Is in sight
In the thrust
(… of dusk)

[Chorus]
It’s getting darker now
(Can we hold on somehow)
Will we find our way
(Out of yesterday)

[Outro]
As the light
(Turns to night)
Is insight
(Thrust to dusk)

[Intro]
Laying…
On a cloud
Cloud’s decaying
(Scream out loud!)

[Verse 1]
Is the dream
Fading away
Is the scene
Different today

[Chorus]
Laying…
On a cloud
Cloud’s decaying
(Scream out loud!)

[Bridge]
Coming…
(Down to Earth)
Loving…
What it’s worth

[Verse 2]
Has the dream
Come to an end
As we careen
Round the bend

[Chorus]
Laying…
On a cloud
Cloud’s decaying
(Scream out loud!)

[Bridge]
Coming…
(Down to Earth)
Loving…
What it’s worth

[Chorus]
Laying…
On a cloud
Cloud’s decaying
(Scream out loud!)

[Outro]
Coming…
(Down to Earth)
Loving…
What it’s worth

[Intro]
Where the water meets the land
(Shoreline)
When the future meets our stand
(Sureline)

[Verse 1]
Are you certain
That we can
Behind the curtain
Is just man

[Chorus]
Where the water meets the land
(Shoreline)
When the future meets our stand
(Sureline)

[Bridge]
As the tide rises
(The line moves)
Changes in the sizes
(Reality proves)

[Verse 2]
When we reach the beach
Will we be sure
Or will a fine line
Continue to blur

[Chorus]
Where the water meets the land
(Shoreline)
When the future meets our stand
(Sureline)

[Bridge]
As the tide rises
(The line moves)
Changes in the sizes
(Reality proves)

[Chorus]
Where the water meets the land
(Shoreline)
When the future meets our stand
(Sureline)

[Outro]
Where the water meets the land
(Shoreline)
When the future meets our stand

[Intro]
Skating on the surface
Of a flat Earth society
Reason will not suffice
When avoiding reality

[Verse 1]
Sure hope we don’t fall off
Walking on a flat Earth
Sure, go ahead and scoff
But, I’ve only one birth

[Bridge]
Do you really believe
(Something you can’t conceive)
Time for understanding
(All our damned demanding)

[Chorus]
Skating on the surface
Of a flat Earth (society)
Reason will not suffice
When avoiding (reality)

[Verse 2]
Sliding toward the side
Of your flat Earth
No depth to hide
Hasn’t any girth

[Bridge]
Do you really believe
(Something you can’t conceive)
Time for understanding
(All our damned demanding)

[Chorus]
Skating on the surface
Of a flat Earth (society)
Reason will not suffice
When avoiding (reality)

[Outro]
Skating on the surface
Of a flat Earth (society)
Reason will not suffice
When avoiding (reality)

A SCIENCE NOTE
That the Earth is flat is not real. The climate crisis if real.

[Intro]
Which way will the wind blow you
Can you tell me true
Say as you’re blown away
Today

[Verse 1]
The rains are pounding
(Ever harder)
The pain’s resounding
(Your life for barter)

[Bridge]
Which way will the wind blow you
Can you tell me true
Say as you’re blown away
Today

[Chorus]
Blown away
(Feel me fray)
Blown away
(Gone astray)

[Verse 2]
The ground is drier
(Then ever before)
Our leader a liar
(We cannot endure)

[Bridge]
Which way will the wind blow you
Can you tell me true
Say as you’re blown away
Today

[Chorus]
Blown away
(Feel me fray)
Blown away
(Gone astray)

[Outro]
Which way will the wind blow you
Can you tell me true
Say as you’re blown away
Today

A SCIENCE NOTE:

Violent Rain
What turns these severe weather events into ‘violent rain events’ is the application of the drag equation and flow dynamics.

Mass and velocity are just part of the equation; density also plays a key role. The combination of these variables increases the intensity of flow forces. Wind and water forces scale with the square of velocity, meaning that as flow speeds increase — due to more intense heating or heavier rainfall — the damage scales accordingly. According to drag physics, force is proportional to density times the square of velocity.

For example, a 20-mile-an-hour wind exerts four times the force of a 10-mile-an-hour wind, while a 40-mile-an-hour wind exerts 16 times the force of a 10-mile-an-hour wind. At 50 miles an hour, the force is 25 times greater, and at 60 miles an hour, it’s 36 times greater than at 10 miles an hour. Now, add the density factor: water is about 800 times denser than air, so a 10-mile-an-hour water flow exerts 800 times the force of a 10-mile-an-hour wind.

As flow velocities increase due to climate change, the forces — and thus the damage — scale with the square of the velocities. While we may not know precisely how much velocities will rise with climate change, we’re already seeing the effects: overwhelmed flood and sewage systems, collapsing hillsides, and more.

[Intro]
[Instrumental, Guitar Solo]
Holding on
(By the skin of our teeth)
What could go wrong
(With irrational belief)

[Verse 1]
Dancing on a razor
Can be a dangerous jig
Risky behavior
As a consumption pig

[Bridge]
Holding on
(By the skin of our teeth)
What could go wrong
(With irrational belief)

[Chorus]
(Pushing)
On the edge
(Wishing)
We made the pledge

[Verse 2]
Jumping on a tightrope
During an extreme weather event
Bringing wisdom into scope
The future’s now present

[Bridge]
Holding on
(By the skin of our teeth)
What could go wrong
(With irrational belief)

[Chorus]
(Pushing)
On the edge
(Wishing)
We made the pledge

[Outro]
Holding on
(By the skin of our teeth)
What could go wrong
(With irrational belief)

A SCIENCE NOTE

Unintended Consequences and Inexplicable Consumer Behavior
Climate change is primarily driven by the escalation of thermal energy affecting biogeophysical and socio-economic systems. While biogeophysical factors can be studied using math, physics, and historical records, socio-economic systems pose greater challenges due to the unpredictable consequences of human behavior and inexplicable consumer choices, exacerbating tipping points and feedback loops.

Complex Feedback Loops:

Complex feedback loops in climate science refer to interactions between different components of the Earth’s climate system that can amplify or dampen the effects of initial changes, leading to non-linear and often unpredictable outcomes. These feedback loops play a crucial role in shaping the behavior of the climate system and can influence various climate phenomena, including temperature changes, ice melt, and precipitation patterns.

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.
