An Ordinary Extinction
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Do you feel at home in limbo?
Hiding a broken vow
A phantom at the window
Can you swallow the shame?
Has your courage been burnt out, faded away?
There won't be a saviour in sight, but it's okay
'Cause we're comfortable
We stood at the edge of the world
Seize the stakes
They're living a lie
Blinded by a candle, they're saying goodbye
We're stood at the edge of the world
When the clock runs down to zero
We'll stand up and take a bow
So quick to play the hero
Are you fanning the flames?
Are you torching the lighthouse stood in the way?
Complicity burning so bright, yet we delay
Are you culpable?
Seize the stakes
They're living a lie
Blinded by a candle, they're saying goodbye
We stood at the edge of the world
Drag the lake
When the water runs dry
We'll be slaves to the anchor, the Devil may cry
We're stood at the edge of the world
We stood at the edge of the world
Nothing is holy, we all take the blame
Crumbling slowly, the cliff face belongs to the ocean
So run for your life
Do you remember the tip of the spear?
The edge of the knife?
We're freshly dismembered but won't shed a tear
So run for your life
We stood at the edge of the world
Seize the snakes
They're living a lie
Blinded by a candle, they're saying goodbye
We're stood at the edge of the world
Drag the lake
When the water runs dry
We'll be slaves to the anchor, the devil may cry
We're fighting to stay alive, how can we all survive? No second chances
We stood at the edge of the world
We stood at the edge of the world, yeah
We're fighting to stay alive
