That drowns about as much as it saves
For the braves forever hurled
All the young cowards acting out
All the young people
Embodied water
All the young cowards acting out
For a million years raise your glass in a cheer
Muffled murmur sneaking through the lecture hall
Understand that only dying is this colossal
Against the cries of gravity
All the young people
Slowing down on the ground
The march of serrated utterance like a soft cough
Sound of waves
For a million years raise your glass
Only how we got
They crawl across the island
Creation, shedding skin
Into the waters of their indifferent graves
We will never answer where we came from
For a million years raise your glass
Who took a leap of no faith
For a million years raise your glass
Alive with the urgency like suicide, like suicide
We will never answer where we came from
Sprouting legs, loud as gallop
Convinced the grass is greener on dry earth
We'll never answer where we came from
Extend a hand to the smallness of death
Who took a leap with no faith into a riverbed
Crawling on, half buried in the sand
To find the perfect equilibrium like fossils
