lyrics

pt.1

Wormhole: a break in the line, an open door.
Pitfall: a trap in your path that you should vault.
Lay down on broken glass, walk on coal.
Face frowns, hands both tied.
Back against the wall.

Animal just wants to eat.
Cannibal turns up the heat.

A candle burns for the last of a kind.
Wind blows through a window;
smells of the tide.
Fate gave everything to you and
never wanted more.
Brainwave blows electric fuse…
another hits the floor.

Admiral won't see defeat.
Cannonball sinks ship into the sea.

pt. 2

The Hole blacked out the sun and ate up the sky.
The Hole cracked the ground and pulled the world inside
The Hole blacked out the sun and ate up the sky.
The Hole cracked the ground and pulled the world inside.

Nobody told us that we would regret
The Hole it made sure we would never forget
It ripped up the land and it drank up the sea
Destruction and mayhem you couldn't believe
But we were the fools
We were all wrong
We had been running away all along
We did not know to read the signs
It had been coming for us the whole time
For living this way
For leading those lives
For killing the planet and fucking it's wife
It swallowed the land
Drank up the sea
Clouded the sky and burned down the trees
Shattered the mountains and boiled the sun
Crumbled the cities and left the world undone.
