about

This song took us a minute to get the phrasing how we wanted it. The vocals in the first section went a couple measures too far, but we liked them so much that we just made it go on another couple of measures to fit the part. I believe it ended up giving the chorus a little bit more of a kick because of the delay.

lyrics

You say that you know why the lines in the skies are misting mass particles and drift like my eyes
Never felt so alive in my life
Distant visions of massive explosions in the sky
(The sky) is falling down on us all
And when it does, oh tell me, will you head for the hills or will you hide underground?
The place where we’re all from,
And destined to baby
Yeah someday you and I, will melt with this earth and become one,
(One) of these days,
I’ll get this shit right, but it’s hard to be optimistic, with a tide on the rise
(Rise) to your feet if you can muster the strength
We’ve got so far to go
I don’t think we’ll make it,
Lord knows we gotta try
To control your breathing
To slow your heart rate
Keep mind from tongue, lie from lung as you’re screaming inside
To yourself trying to make sense of this life
Well there’s got to be so much more to this than just coincidence or an eye for an eye
(I)for one am so fucking tired of always getting the runaround and of being stepped upon
(Upon) first sight I’d say that we were slighted
But upon taring the scales, found we were right on man
