As often as always
Evolution comes crawling from the sea
Alive with the urgency like suicide, like suicide
Convinced the grass is greener on dry earthThe march of serrated utterance like a soft cough
Muffled murmur sneaking through the lecture hall
They crawl across the islandSound of waves
Embodied water
Sprouting legs, loud as gallopAll the young people
Who took a leap with no faith into a riverbed
That drowns about as much as it savesSlowing down on the ground
Against the cries of gravityCrawling on, half buried in the sand
Extend a hand to the smallness of death
Understand that only dying is this colossalCreation, shedding skin
To find the perfect equilibrium like fossils
All the young people
Who took a leap of no faithAll the young cowards acting out
All the young cowards acting out
For the braves forever hurled
Into the waters of their indifferent gravesFor a million years raise your glass
We will never answer where we came from
For a million years raise your glass in a cheer
We'll never answer where we came from
Only how we gotFor a million years raise your glass
We will never answer where we came from
For a million years raise your glass
Only how we got here
