Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And on that day they'll tell you
That life hummed on with no clue
The warning signs were all dismissed, or shouted down
So it goes
The kings all failed to tell us
The madmen failed to sell us
On what would then become the only life we'd know
[Verse 2]
Were they burning signal fires to guide us to the fields?
Or building funeral pyres?
The outcome of a final appeal
[Chorus]
The city lines are down, the kerosene's run out
The fracturing of all we relied upon
Let's shed this unclean skin, and start to feel again
'Cause all the shoulders on which to cry are gone
[Verse 3]
The paranoia gripped us, the rain turned engines to rust
The panic set in like a cancer to our hearts spreading through
Spreading through
We bet on finite genius, or prayed for gods to save us
Disease tore us apart
We left bodies in the fields
So numb that we forgot how to feel
[Chorus]
The city lines are down, the kerosene's run out
The fracturing of all we relied upon
Let's shed this unclean skin, and start to feel again
'Cause all the shoulders on which to cry are gone
[Verse 4]
He looked at the fields, and then his hands
'All I need is what I have'
Then fell a tear of happiness
[Verse 5]
She watched the world crumble away
'Is this the end of yesterday?'
'Lord, I hope so,' is all he said
[Bridge]
All gone are the old guards
(Gone are the old Gods)
Gone are the cold, cold wars
(Gone are the cold wars)
Weightless we go forth
(Weightless we go forth)
On wings of amnesty
[Chorus]
(All we rely on now)
The city lines are down, the kerosene's run out
The fracturing of all we relied upon
Let's shed this unclean skin, and start to feel again
With no more shoulders, shoulders to cry on now
[Outro]
The weight that we once felt is gone
No more, no more
The weight that we once felt is gone
The weight that we once felt is gone
