strange our days seem to last for ages
while months feel like missing pages
i swear they're prepared for our next engagement
it's not enough
the towns underground get rebuilt in stages
to come above
we've solved the stars, get out of the way here they come
turns out they're not that far
devolve our views, we create to make them pay
turns out we can't afford the cost
something tells me we'll do this for ages
certainty can be quite contagious
i guess we wanted war
never say always, waste not want not
some instincts last too long
we've crossed the plain, the sound of the blaze it woke me up
in time our wells will produce
restore the message that our minds are changing
greatest unknown since the moon's been vacant
i guess we wanted war
never say always, waste not want not
some instincts last too long
never say always
