The faultline slipped, the faultline slipped,The faultline slipped and my knees keep shaking.The Arch collapsed, the Arch collapsed,But I still see its shadow cast over the riverKeep your head from fallingKeep your fragile chest from collapsingWhen it's finally said with conviction that the formula doesn't work.If the glaciers melt, the water will engulf ourselves,And every book on every shelf is invalid if the formula doesn't work:And the formula doesn't work.And the formula doesn't work.No, the formula doesn't work.And the formula doesn't work.Keep your hands togetherKeep your eyelids clenched so tightlyWith the backup plan: so flawlessHow can everything end like this?So here it is:When the lava burns our wives and kidsWe'll be certain the hypothesis is faultyIf the formula doesn't workLetras de cancionesAnd the formula doesn't work.Mountains are big and they all look fakeWe'll be nothing but ashes in their wakeNow we know that it's worse than we'd ever thinkWe evolve, we adapt, or become extinctThe clouds are epic and the sky is colossalBut in a million years, we'll all just be fossilsMountains are big and they all look fakeEvolution is such a hard habit to breakIt was heavy but it wasn't lethalIt was sketchy but it wasn't illegalGlaciers will melt and the land will slideAnd we can say we tried, butThe faultline slipped, the faultline slipped,The faultline slipped and my knees keep shakingThe seismic waves, the seismic waves,Are crashing into the surface, breakingThe plates collide, the plates collide,And we're all just fossils in the makingThe Arch collapsed, the Arch collapsed,But I still see its shadow cast over the riverThere's a place in the atmosphereWhere the sound waves go when they disappearWhere the words you speak that no one should knowWhere'd you think that your prayers go?There's a place in the atmosphereWhere the sound waves go that no one can hearWhere the words you speak that no one should knowWhere'd you think that your prayers go?
