about

(the engines driving us to extinction continue to accelerate)

lyrics

I was crafted to write and that's all I am for
but I'll show that despite simplicity magnifies mystery more
at the top of the charts with my billionth clone
I am more than the parts and labour at Eberhard Faber alone

open and shut, no time for wondering what have we done
shoes in the gears shave only seconds off years, in the long run
intertwine and resign to the discipline that pulls us all in

not a singular soul so ambitious and wise
could assemble the whole of forces these simple resources comprise
if you hazard a guess, you could start from a tree
but there's more than a decimeter of Oregon cedar to me

if you're not 准备 on the first day
then we'll try again on 第二天

fall on the sword that tethers the risk to reward thereupon
common retreat is tragedy sure to repeat 'til it's all gone
coalesce selfishness: it will soon digest the time we invest

any four-eighty-two that you find at the store
took a specialist crew of millions to craft with resilience galore
and it happens alone with no central commands
not a creature or stone that is won't be shaken by invisible hands

if you're not 准备 on the first day
then we'll try again on 第二天
and if you be not set on day одиннадцать
we will have done plenty by day εκατόν πέντε
and all will be better at the count of *kwetwer-
