As Mother Nature sings Her requiem The machines all gather around and sing along We hang from kites until the tide comes in It'll be another week before we know what's wrong
We watch the trees turn into skeletons As the leaves float to the ground and fill the cracks They'll try to show us the improvements then But they know without a doubt that we won't come back
Drift to the moon, write out your name Or something to remember The smile on your face Is enough to make me crawl out of this place
So let's the chew the fat until the axis bends Well, we'll climb inside the sun and write our wills We'll sell our secrets to the government So the world can eat them up until they've had their fill
Caught in the rain, soaked to the bone I'm nothing to remember But the smile on your face Is enough to make me crawl out of this place
Torn paper birds Drop from the sky And carry my home away The wolves in the walls Climb out and fall I hope they'll be okay
When you're fearless It makes it hard to stay awake When you're gutless It makes it hard to play the game
The cracks in my spine The gleam in my eye The fork inside my lungs They'll never change And I'll do the same The war that's never won
