Broadcast a signal, send a response in The eye of every storm

Pinpointed eyes don’t hide the disguise
and this is only a test, only a test
but the system has failed
And we take in the stars
from freeze warned hearts
but there are no awards
no golden globes
just far attuned lobes listening
for her to awake
and she’s awake
but this is only a test
this is only a test
and the system has failed
return to sender, the note wasn’t mailed
this is only a test
this is only a test
a life without rest they say
is living the best
take every moment and take every second
a momentary lapse, a stagnant regression
and her eyes are open, the covers are stirring
but this is only a test
an emergency broadcast can never last
they’ll turn it off or die when we see through the lie
that this is only a test
forget all the rest
we created this mess
and the fluttering eye lids
a moth spreads its wings
God we’re too late
and she is awake
she is alive.
