Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Seems like we're all alone
We need critical endorsement
Reeling on the edge
We need chemical enforcement
[PreChorus]
Moving forward
But breathing backward
Failing upward
But going nowhere
[Chorus]
I can't believe the apocalypse is taking so long
It's been a while since it all went wrong
A permanent eclipse at our fingertips
You're the only thing that's keeping me calm
[Verse 2]
Cross my palm with silver coin
We should start a new religion
No one else wants to join
Just a useless exhibition
[PreChorus]
Moving forward
But breathing backward
Failing upward
But going nowhere
[Chorus]
I can't believe the apocalypse is taking so long
It's been a while since it all went wrong
A permanent eclipse at our fingertips
You're the only thing that's keeping me calm
[Chorus]
I can't believe the apocalypse is taking so long
It's been a while since it all went wrong
A permanent eclipse at our fingertips
You're the only thing that's keeping me calm
[Outro]
We'll live for another day
Rain falling in slow motion down our faces
Running away at a snail's pace
I don't think we'll ever get out of this place
I don't think we'll ever get out of this place
I don't think we'll ever get out of this place
