Stand and move and walk across the water.
C#
Peel the cover from the city.
G# F#
Watch its insides twitch and smoke and rotate endlessly.
Bbm
Sinking. Moving deep beneath the water.
C#
Lots of other worlds exist.
G#
Soon enough well tear them open.
F#
Soon enough well break them too.
Bbm
Swimming. Watching concrete eat the ocean.
C#
Metal fingers scrape the skies.
G# F#
The windows look like Christmas lights from out here.
Bbm
Floating. Counting clouds. Theyre slowly fading.
C#
Blending in with cardboard skies.
G#
Soon well manufacture replicas.
F#
Its all replaceable.
C#
From the sky, the train tracks look like stitches.
Bbm
Like theyre holding the world together; like itll blow any minute.
G#
And Ive got another thought Ill keep to myself.
F#
Until the skeletons walk free. Until the make-up all comes off.
C#
Theres nothing new to discover, theres nothing new to invent.
Bbm
Theres nothing new to think that hasnt been thought of before.
G#
And theres nothing to believe we havent already forgotten.
F#
Theres nothing left, theres nothing new, theres nothing
N.C.
No, no, no, no.
C#
And Ive got another dream Ill keep to myself.
Bbm
Until the tyrants are dead and the patriots are swallowed whole.
G#
And Ive got a bottle I can aim at the center,
Full of letters, as a kid, Id always meant to send.
F#
Wed speak our minds and change the world.
Wed fix the past and pave the way.
C#
But now were fresh out of heroes; now weve run dry on hope.
Bbm
There are no saviors in technology: just quick fixes.
G#
And holes, within holes, within holes, within you.
F#
And a place to hang my head, and convince myself there is no difference.
C# Bbm G# F#
