[Intro] As often as always Evolution comes crawling from the sea Alive with the urgency Like suicide, like suicide [Verse 1] Convinced the grass is greener On dry earth; [Verse 2] The march of serrated utterance like a soft cough Muffled murmur sneaking through the lecture halls They crawl across the island Sound of waves in muddied water Sprouting legs as loud as gallop,... [Chorus] All the young people took a leap of no faith In a riverbed that drowns about as much as it saves [Breakdown] ...Throwing down on the ground against the cries of gravity [Verse 3] Belly-up, half buried in the sand Extend a hand to the smallness of death Understand that only dying is this colossal Creation shedding skin to find the perfect equilibrium like fossils [Chorus] All the young people took a leap of no faith... All the young cowards acting out... All the young cowards acting out for the brave Forever hurled into the water of their indifferent graves For a million years raise your glass We will never answer where we came from... For a million years raise your glass in a cheers We will never answer where we came from, only how we got... [Post-Chorus] For a million years raise your glass We will never answer where we came from... For a million years raise your glass ...only how we got here [Outro] (Two minutes, and then the lads are in for a surprise)
