Lyrics
Under The Wheels
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.
We've fallen asleep,
Under the wheels,
Of the machine.
But the bigger we build - the harder we fall,
And all that comes up comes back to the floor,
And all that we've dreamed,
All we've achieved,
One day will fall,
Down on us.
Lost,
As we admire,
Our finest design
Awe fills our minds.
Cos we're actually beginning to believe;
One day we'll all be Gods,
When the truth is much more simple than it seems,
For all our wisdom we forgot -
That the bigger we build - the harder we fall,
And all that comes up comes back to the floor,
And all that we've dreamed,
All we've achieved,
One day will fall,
Down on us.
