The Formula Lyrics by So Many Dynamos

The Loud Wars

0

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 river
Keep your head from falling
Keep your fragile chest from collapsing
When 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 together
Keep your eyelids clenched so tightly
With the backup plan: so flawless
How can everything end like this?
So here it is:
When the lava burns our wives and kids
We'll be certain the hypothesis is faulty
If the formula doesn't work
And the formula doesn't work
Mountains are big and they all look fake
We'll be nothing but ashes in their wake
Now we know that it's worse than we'd ever think
We evolve, we adapt, or become extinct
The clouds are epic and the sky is colossal
But in a million years, we'll all just be fossils
Mountains are big and they all look fake
Evolution is such a hard habit to break
It was heavy but it wasn't lethal
It was sketchy but it wasn't illegal
Glaciers will melt and the land will slide
And we can say we tried, but
The faultline slipped, the faultline slipped
The faultline slipped and my knees keep shaking
The seismic waves, the seismic waves
Are crashing into the surface, breaking
The plates collide, the plates collide
And we're all just fossils in the making
The Arch collapsed, the Arch collapsed
But I still see its shadow cast over the river
There's a place in the atmosphere
Where the sound waves go that no one can hear
Where the words you speak that no one should know
Where'd you think that your prayers go?
There's a place in the atmosphere
Where the sound waves go when they disappear
Where the words you speak that no one should know
Where'd you think that your prayers go?
