Gabriel J. Wheeler - The Madman Lyrics

Waiting on Yellowstone to blow
Waiting for the big one to send my home
Into the ocean, along with all the others

Waiting on the Third World War
Waiting for a mushroom cloud to rise up just off shore
Waiting to get sent off to fight and die, and I don't know what for

So it's hard to care about you, when I can't stop thinking about the 1001 ways we're doomed
And I'm trying to but I don't have the room

Waiting on an asteroid to hit, waiting to get shot by some ostracized kid
Who never felt loved
Or maybe they did, I can't figure it out

Waiting on the oceans to rise, waiting on every single person who I've ever loved to die
I can't get it off my mind, I think about it all the time

So it's hard to care about us, when I can't stop thinking about the 1001 ways we're f*cked
And to tell you the truth, I don't know that I do

Waiting on God to come down, to tell us we're not just a bunch of weird animals running around
With too many chemicals for our own good

And I'm waiting on the body and blood
To feel like it's moving inside me, instead of just making me feel numb
To make me feel like there's more to life than just being alive

But it's hard to care about life
When I can't stop thinking about all the ways that we're all gonna die
And I don't want to live just to say I survived
But I at least want to say that I tried
