I held a candle and I let it burn
Down, down to my fingers
To prove the system works
A face built of copper
And some time well spent
Returning the favor to see the system works
Well maybe you shouldn’t go that far away
I might just need you here, I might need a break
Slipping and falling we never saw it coming
But I was optimistic as I felt it break
The lines on the road
All blur into one
A useful euphemism for how the system works
Still searching for proof
In the fossils we found
A pointed finger at how the system works
Well maybe you shouldn’t go that far away
I might just need you here, I might need a break
Slipping and falling we never saw it coming
But I was optimistic as I felt it break
Still feeling like a stranger
With no history here
A painful reminder of how the system works
These buildings spring forth
From such fertile ground
We won’t be happy until the system works
Well maybe you shouldn’t go that far away
I might just need you here, I might need a break
Slipping and falling we never saw it coming
But I was optimistic as I felt it break
