Bbm
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 we?ll tear them open. 
F#
Soon enough we?ll 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. They?re slowly fading.
C#
Blending in with cardboard skies.
G#
Soon we?ll manufacture replicas.
F#
It?s all replaceable. 

C#
From the sky, the train tracks look like stitches.
Bbm  
Like they?re holding the world together; like it?ll blow any minute.
G# 
And I?ve got another thought I?ll keep to myself. 
F#
Until the skeletons walk free. Until the make-up all comes off. 
C#
There?s nothing new to discover, there?s nothing new to invent.
Bbm 
There?s nothing new to think that hasn?t been thought of before.
G# 
And there?s nothing to believe we haven?t already forgotten. 
F#
There?s nothing left, there?s nothing new, there?s nothing? 
N.C.
No, no, no, no. 
C#
And I?ve got another dream I?ll keep to myself. 
Bbm
Until the tyrants are dead and the patriots are swallowed whole. 
G#
And I?ve got a bottle I can aim at the center,
Full of letters, as a kid, I?d always meant to send.
F#
We?d speak our minds and change the world. 
We?d fix the past and pave the way. 

C#
But now we?re fresh out of heroes; now we?ve 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.
