lyrics

Anger has now refined,
We've come to the end of time,
Everyone's fine,
and in a moment we'll all be gone

Your lips, your eyes, your smile,
Fade to Aurora Borealis,
Your heart turns to dust,
and it is meaningless to watch the dock.

If life were this kind,
Woven in space,
are the memories of the institution,
Right before the revolution,
Took us away.
We saw where the cages were,
and stopped time 'cause we knew it was useless,
and found god in the way that things fell.
It wasn't what we thought that would happen but,
It never is,
Come with me and float,
Down the river.
Stop time 'cause we know it is useless,
find god in the way that things fall,
it isn't what we think that should happen but,
it never is,
down the river.
down the river.
