Dead and Gone
[Verse 1]
There is no shelter
Just the body that God gave us
And all we can do
Is to hope that that's enough
Well, I know the rules; always did
They are written inside of my eyelids
It's an imperfect world we live in
But it's the only world we have
[Pre-Chorus]
The less we get, the more we want
In this throwaway society
Fading to the point of no return
We're at a crossroads
Just follow the compass of your heart
Until we all get torched
Get torched by the undying sun
[Chorus]
When we're dead and gone
When our mistake's been done
A celestial corpse will carry on
And it will illustrate
How we undermined our own existence
When we're dead and gone
And our mistake's been done
Let's all just face the facts
No matter how we bend or break it
We make the ultimate sacrifice
[Verse 2]
Out of all our human-crafted artifacts
The longest-lasting
Will be our redesigned atmosphere
Now, how does that make you feel
That we're beyond repair?
We sealed our fate
In this slow-motion suicide
[Pre-Chorus]
The less we get, the more we want
In this throwaway society
Fading to the point of no return
We're at a crossroads
Just follow the compass of your heart
Until we all get torched
Get torched by the undying sun
[Chorus]
When we're dead and gone
When our mistake's been done
A celestial corpse will carry on
And it will illustrate
How we undermined our own existence
When we're dead and gone
And our mistake's been done
Let's all just face the facts
No matter how we bend or break it
We make the ultimate sacrifice
[Bridge]
What we set in motion
Must play itself out
So we can hand the Earth over
In better shape
Than we accepted it (We accepted it)
[Chorus]
When we're dead and gone
When our mistake's been done
A celestial corpse will carry on
And it will illustrate
How we undermined our own existence
When we're dead and gone
And our mistake's been done
Let's all just face the facts
No matter how we bend or break it
We make the ultimate sacrifice
[Outro]
When we're dead and gone
When our mistake's been done
A celestial corpse will carry on
And it will illustrate
How we undermined our own existence
When we're dead and gone
