The Modern World Songtext
von Ryan O'Reilly

I don′t believe in predestination
But the arc of the story has been there all along
The clocks went back and we all changed direction
No one predicted the road we're now on

A strange new creation
A last chance of salvation
I blocked the sun with my fingers
To watch the blood flow

And I was dragging your suitcase all over Brooklyn
You wanted to sleep but we were late for the show

The modern world covered with shadows
Much longer than Eden′s after the fall

She said just try not to dream too small


Slammed fists on the table
The young and the able
Took the champagne away
That they'd all had on ice

And you were glued to the screen
Wondering what this would mean
As the bar quickly emptied
And we left alone

The modern world that no one can conquer
Every empire's destined to fall

She said just try not to dream too small

There were voices at the windows
Someone sleeping in the hall
I tried to make sense of things
But it made no sense at all

She said try not to dream too small

Try not to dream too small
