|
The faultline slipped, the faultline slipped, |
|
The faultline slipped and my knees keep shaking. |
|
The Arch collapsed, the Arch collapsed, |
|
But I still see its shadow cast over the river |
|
Keep your head from falling |
|
Keep your fragile chest from collapsing |
|
When it's finally said with conviction that the formula doesn't work. |
|
If the glaciers melt, the water will engulf ourselves, |
|
And every book on every shelf is invalid if the formula doesn't work: |
|
And the formula doesn't work. |
|
And the formula doesn't work. |
|
No, the formula doesn't work. |
|
And the formula doesn't work. |
|
Keep your hands together |
|
Keep your eyelids clenched so tightly |
|
With the backup plan: so flawless |
|
How can everything end like this? |
|
So here it is: |
|
When the lava burns our wives and kids |
|
We'll be certain the hypothesis is faulty |
|
If the formula doesn't work |
|
And the formula doesn't work. |
|
Mountains are big and they all look fake |
|
We'll be nothing but ashes in their wake |
|
Now we know that it's worse than we'd ever think |
|
We evolve, we adapt, or become extinct |
|
The clouds are epic and the sky is colossal |
|
But in a million years, we'll all just be fossils |
|
Mountains are big and they all look fake |
|
Evolution is such a hard habit to break |
|
It was heavy but it wasn't lethal |
|
It was sketchy but it wasn't illegal |
|
Glaciers will melt and the land will slide |
|
And we can say we tried, but |
|
The faultline slipped, the faultline slipped, |
|
The faultline slipped and my knees keep shaking |
|
The seismic waves, the seismic waves, |
|
Are crashing into the surface, breaking |
|
The plates collide, the plates collide, |
|
And we're all just fossils in the making |
|
The Arch collapsed, the Arch collapsed, |
|
But I still see its shadow cast over the river |
|
There's a place in the atmosphere |
|
Where the sound waves go that no one can hear |
|
Where the words you speak that no one should know |
|
Where'd you think that your prayers go? |
|
There's a place in the atmosphere |
|
Where the sound waves go when they disappear |
|
Where the words you speak that no one should know |
|
Where'd you think that your prayers go? |
