Crush

We are the earth
We are the sky
Immortalized
We are the body and the mind
The ancient tribe
If we could only stop the beating
Keeping our pulses from retreating
We are the heart
One vicious heart
Don't let it die
A piece of us has shifted sideways and all dignity slips away
A priest, a God live in your beliefs
An escape from what still remains
You can't arrest in the peace when violence is no use
We take the measures so fuck the poison that's slowly killing you
When living life is a feat and nothing's right
With the youth, you drink the poison
Or pour it out because it's slowly killing you
We are the earth
We are the sky
Immortalized
We are the body and the mind
The ancient tribe
If we could only stop the beating
Keep our pulses from retreating
We are the heart
One vicious heart
Don't let it die
Don't let it die
Don't let it die
We are the heart
One vicious heart
Don't let it die
We are the earth
We are the sky
Immortalized
Further we move, the less we are
Further we pull, the spook of shit we find
Further we move, the less we are
Further we pull, the thread of shit unwinds
Forever falling forward
Relapse
Elastic on the timeline
Regress
Rewind
We push
We pull
Cast a vote for a glass half full
Build it up for the afterlife
We are the earth
We are the sky
Immortalized
We are the body and the mind
The ancient tribe
If we could only stop the beating
Keep our pulses from retreating
We are the heart
One vicious heart
Don't let it die
