Earth
I dig 'til my shovel tells a secret,Swear to the earth that I will keep it,Brush off the dirtAnd let my change of heart occur.
Sold soon after the appraisal,The hammer struck the auction tableLouder than anything I've ever heard.
Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house.But I put it out of my mindLong enough to call it courageTo live without a lifeline.I bend the definitionOf faith to exonerate my blind eye.'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.
Meanwhile, my family's taking shelter.The sparks send the fire down the wire,A countdown begins,Until the dynamite gives in.
The echo, as wide as the equator,Travels through a world of built up anger-Too late to pull itself together now.
Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house.But I put it out of my mindLong enough to call it courageTo live without a lifeline.I bend the definitionOf faith to exonerate my blind eye.'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.
There was an earthquake.There was an avalanche of change.We were so afraid,We cried ourselves a hurricane.There were floods,And tidal waves over us,We folded our hands and prayed.Like a domino,These wildfires grow and growUntil a brand new world takes shape.
Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house.But I put it out of my mindLong enough to call it courageTo live without a lifeline.I bend the definitionOf faith to exonerate my blind eye.'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.
