lyrics

Nobody can say if we're going to fall forever
If we inch our way a little bit closer to the edge
Everything falls away the same as it falls together
At a glacial tempo
Not in one day

If you dial it in
Order up a lifetime subscription
You can find your way a little bit further up the line
It all fades away the same way as it first appeared
As an indecisive shadow
Not sharp, not permanent

You can't separate the attention from the intention

Left or right, day or night
Count your breathes as you head into the terminal building
These things seldom matter upon reflection

Indicate your choice, mark it well in some way
Let there be no question, when the others come to check your work
We were all in the top twenty, for some not quite the first time
We rocked a glacial tempo
We're not rushing now

You can't separate the attention from the intention
