There's a needle in your lifeboat and You're trying to keep from going under The feeling that you might choke: suddenly it's taking over Better hope that you will stay afloat because the water is rising Watch it float away Don't believe me? Can't you feel it getting old? We all stay the same All contingency has stalled You're all alone The hymn of time; the air I breathe The lurker preys upon my sleep but struggles to hold He speaks in serpents tongues A whisper of her soul The devilish structure latches onto my bones Pulsing inside of me, rip and birth Under the waves you are born Gripping earth, demand, improve Planted roots don't share your stench Wither and wilt This home we have built will outlast us all The castle will fall Wither and wilt This home we have built will outlast us all The castle will fall Watch it float away: a burden greater with the weight of every stone We all stay the same, and every question makes itself unknown There's a needle in your lifeboat and finally you're going under The fever that you let go; the weight that you believed was severed Now you'll rot and wither in the cold, and the water is rising
