[Protest The Hero - Palms Read lyrics]
As often as always
Evolution comes crawling from the sea
Alive with the urgency
Like suicide, like suicide
Convinced the grass is greener on dry earth
The march of serrated utterance
Like a soft cough
Muffled murmur sneaking through
The lecture halls
They crawl across the island
The sound of waves in muddied water
Sprouting legs as loud as gallop
All the young people took a leap of no faith
In a riverbed that drowns about
As much as it saves
Throwing down on the ground against
The cries of gravity
Belly-up, half buried in the sand
Extend your own hand to
The smallness of death
Understand that only dying is this colossal
Creation shedding skin to find the
Perfect equilibrium like fossils
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
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
(Two minutes
And then the lads are in for a surprise)
Evolution comes crawling from the sea
Alive with the urgency
Like suicide, like suicide
Convinced the grass is greener on dry earth
The march of serrated utterance
Like a soft cough
Muffled murmur sneaking through
The lecture halls
They crawl across the island
The sound of waves in muddied water
Sprouting legs as loud as gallop
All the young people took a leap of no faith
In a riverbed that drowns about
As much as it saves
Throwing down on the ground against
The cries of gravity
Belly-up, half buried in the sand
Extend your own hand to
The smallness of death
Understand that only dying is this colossal
Creation shedding skin to find the
Perfect equilibrium like fossils
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
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
(Two minutes
And then the lads are in for a surprise)
