seen from the highest point
you can only look straight down
the air is thin
we begin to sway
with every single breeze
with all our failed attempts
there's a wisdom we can use
the cracking walls
that we built still hide
within them all the clues

why all our sacred empires
keep falling away
why all the gods we've invented
forsake us today

the heat's burning everyone
and there's nowhere left to run
the fractured minds
that we break still hide

why all our sacred empires
keep falling away
why all the gods we've invented
forsake us today

why you're still falling down
and you keep blowing away
why you're still breaking down
you're breaking and breaking away

why all our sacred empires
keep falling away
why all the gods we've invented
forsake us today
why all the laws we've elected
enslave us somehow
why all the towers we're building
will come crashing down
