lyrics

It’s bitterness that lies twixt grin and sigh when the glyph towers men into bugs and every soul forgets how to run.

It’s such a long way down. They tell ya, it’s such a long way down. When all souls forget how to run it takes an inch to slip or drown.

Prophets, fill your valleys; Atlas, lock your daughters up; Kings, fortify your kingdoms - the world ain’t safe from us.

It’s such a long way down. They tell ya, it’s such a long way down. When all souls forget how to run it takes an inch to slip or drown.

There’s no grief between my girl and me, yet whether asleep or a’cuss, the world ain’t safe from us. If small fates feel too heavy for earth and heaven thank being born of titans, psalms, and 7’s.

It’s such a long way down. They tell ya, it’s such a long way down. When all souls forget how to run it takes an inch to slip or drown.
