Colony Collapse Lyrics

Dear, oh dear, what a sorry state we're in
We brought the battle
We saw the signs
Now we've found ourselves two steps behind

I'm counting days like they're running out
There's ghosts in the water, so prey for drought

This time there's no where to hide
We're facing the firing squad side by side
1986
This is full relapse
Our latest apocalypse
This is colony collapse

Give us the rope and we'll tie our own noose
We truly believed all we touched turned to gold
We were warned but we wouldn't be told

I'm counting days like they're running out
There's ghosts in the water, so prey for drought

This time there's no where to hide!
We're facing the firing squad side by side!

They said the ocean's on fire
Say it isn't true, say it isn't true.
The truth never hurt so much!
Can we start a new, can we start a new?

1986!
This is full relapse!
Our latest apocalypse!
This is colony collapse!

Colony collapse!

Dear, oh dear, what a sorry state we're in.

They said the ocean's on fire
Say it isn't true, say it isn't true
The truth never hurt so much!
Can we start a new, can we start new?

This time there's no where to hide!
We're facing the firing squad side by side!

They said the ocean's fire
Say it isn't true, say it isn't true
The truth never hurt so much!
Can we start a new, can we start a new?

1986!
This is full relapse!
Our latest apocalypse!
This is colony collapse!
