Lyrics

Sken

[Verse 1]

Seems like we're all alone

We need critical endorsement

Reeling on the edge

We need chemical enforcement

[Pre-Chorus]

Moving forward

But breathing backward

Failing upward

But going nowhere

[Chorus]

I can't believe the apocalypse is taking so long

It's been a while since it all went wrong

A permanent eclipse at our fingertips

You're the only thing that's keeping me calm

[Verse 2]

Cross my palm with silver coin

We should start a new religion

No one else wants to join

Just a usеless exhibition

[Pre-Chorus]

Moving forward

But breathing backward

Failing upward

But going nowhеre

[Chorus]

I can't believe the apocalypse is taking so long

It's been a while since it all went wrong

A permanent eclipse at our fingertips

You're the only thing that's keeping me calm

I can't believe the apocalypse is taking so long

It's been a while since it all went wrong

A permanent eclipse at our fingertips

You're the only thing that's keeping me calm

[Outro]

We'll live for another day

Rain falling in slow motion down our faces

Running away at a snail's pace

I don't think we'll ever get out of this place

I don't think we'll ever get out of this place

I don't think we'll ever get out of this place
