Lyrics

Crush

[Chorus]

We are the earth

We are the sky

Immortalized

We are the body and the mind

The ancient tribe

If we could only stop the beating

Keeping our pulses from retreating

We are the heart

One vicious heart

Don't let it die

[Verse 1]

A piece of us has shifted sideways and all dignity slips away

A priest, a god live in your beliefs

An escape from what still remains

You can't arrest in the peace when violence is no use

We take the measures, so fuck the poison that's slowly killing you

When living life is a feat and nothing's right with the youth

You drink the poison or pour it out because it's slowly killing you

[Chorus]

We are the earth

We are the sky

Immortalized

We are the body and the mind

The ancient tribe (We are the ancient tribe)

If we could only stop the beating

Keep our pulses from retreating

We are the heart

One vicious heart

Don't let it die

[Post-Chorus]

Don't let it die

Die, die

Don't let it die

Die, die

We are the heart

One vicious heart

Don't let it die

We are the earth

We are the sky

Immortalized

[Bridge]

Further we move, the less we are

Further we pull, the spool of shit we find

Further we move, the less we are

Further we pull, the thread of shit unwinds

Forever falling forward

Relapse elastic on the timeline

Regress, rewind

We push, we pull

Cast a vote for a glass half full

Build it up for the afterlife

[Chorus]

We are the earth

We are the sky

Immortalized

We are the body and the mind

The ancient tribe (We are the ancient tribe)

If we could only stop the beating

Keep our pulses from retreating

We are the heart

One vicious heart

Don't let it die

[Instrumental]
