Lyrics

The fault line slipped
The fault line slipped
The fault line 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
'Cause 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 clamped so tightly
With a back-up plan so flawless
How could 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 it's worse than we ever think
We evolve, we adapt, or become extinct
The ground is 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
And evolution is such a hard habit to break
It was deadly but it wasn't lethal
And it was sketchy but it wasn't illegal
Glaciers will melt and the land will slide
And we can say we tried
But the fault line slipped
The fault line slipped
The fault line 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 soundwaves go that no one can hear
Where the words you speak that no one should know
Where'd you think, where'd you think
Where'd you think that your prayers go?
There's a place in the atmosphere
Where the soundwaves go when they disappear
Where the words you speak that no one should know
Where'd you think, where'd you think
Where'd you think that your prayers go?
There's a place in the atmosphere
Where the soundwaves go that no one can hear
Where the words you speak that no one should know
Where'd you think, where'd you think
Where'd you think that your prayers go?
There's a place in the atmosphere
Where the soundwaves go when they disappear
Where the words you speak that no one should know
Where'd you think, where'd you think
Where'd you think that your prayers go?
There's a place in the atmosphere
Where the soundwaves go that no one can hear
Where the words you speak that no one should know
Where'd you think, where'd you think
Where'd you think that your prayers go?
There's a place in the atmosphere
Where the soundwaves go when they disappear
Where the words you speak that no one should know
Where'd you think, where'd you think
Where'd you think that your prayers go?
Where'd you think, where'd you think
Where'd you think that your prayers go?
Where'd you think, where'd you think
Where'd you think that your prayers go?
Where'd you think, where'd you think
Where'd you think that your prayers go?
Where'd you think, where'd you think
Where'd you think that your prayers go?
