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