The planet's lost and all I need
To line my bed with handkerchiefs
To bathe my fatigue, to build a case
For true love lost and lives erased
To live guilt free in a foretold destiny
He found a hill where he stakes his claim
And he'll build a house where he'll martyr his children
The trees wease out, the oceans rise
He's gaining ground in his high rise
And all proceeds from rewritten history
In fairy tales that he still believes
He breeds and thrives and he's immunized
But he's paralyzed cause he's sure to die off
Still running for that middle
Higher ground but lower
While all the cubs start running off
Cold water boils, mothers rage
His house and family have washed away
Where was his savior, his promised road?
He followed every rule they ever sold
He saw his world as a vapor life support
We colonize and we multiply
As we suck it dry yeah we're sure to die off
Live it down, live it down, live it
Live it down, live it down, live it
Live it down, live it down, live it down
