calm alarm

Everything's detected
In the moment is fine
People are respected 
and the sun's gonna shine
Predators and bullies 
making scarce, no fear
Disasters and catastrophes 
- sound the all clear! 

Sound the calm alarm 
Calm alarm 
Sound the calm alarm 

When that alarm is blaring 
you can hear it everywhere 
Then you know it's okay-fine 
breathe easy-free from care, yeah 
Freeing up attention 
from defense and distress 
to focus on what's worth it,
or your very best guess 

Sound the calm alarm
Calm alarm 
Sound the calm alarm 
When the calm alarm's
going on and on 

Well that's when life's for living, 
and the worth is on tap. 
The purpose and the meaning 
come to smack you like an ass-slap
It could go on forever, 
and you'd call it just as well.
'Cause you forget the number 
you're supposed to call to tell them: 

Turn that thing off! 
This is an emergency 
You don't know how to stop
the siren's call of peace 
The calm alarm 
is always in the background, now 
Might as well give into it,
settle down somehow 

Calm alarm 
Calm alarm
Sound the calm alarm

When the calm alarm's
going on and on 

That's how you know everything's
okay-fine you're living in
the moment might as well
let it shine.
