Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Real to real, fact to fact
Nothing moving's happening, artifact
The waiting room waits, limbo can burn
But the original sin, the incentive to learn
[Verse 2]
Fly over land where no hearts can beat
The metal rain pouring, raining, raining down on me
Hole in my head where the creature has crawled
And it's burning and turning out of control
[Verse 3]
Real to real, fact to fact
Nothing moving's happening, artifact
I am the sand, sand in the eye
So here we go, the happy man dies
[Verse 4]
Brave little world, well, you cry once again
Remodel life, remake and remodel
Remodel man, protection, protection
Sound of machines, image is burning
As they grind to a halt, crying, and crying
[Verse 5]
And the sound of the shells
Tears turn to salt
Cry and I cry, it's all an illusion
I cry just for you
There's a hole in my head
Where the voices came through
[Verse 6]
Fly over land where no hearts can beat
Waiting and waiting, machinery's burning
The metal rains pour, pour, raining down on me
Raining down on me
[Verse 7]
Premonition
