Lyrics
Everything breaks down eventually
It's all just a matter of entropy
Thermodynamics and gravity
We're all gonna fall in the end
When you play the record the needle gets dull
It's tragically irreversible
You know some erosion's inevitable
When you rub up against the world
You're locked in a box, try to hold your breath
Conserve what remains of the air that's left
If you don't breathe you'll smother yourself
But every inhale brings you closer to death
Everything breaks down eventually
We're all decomposing gradually
Into atoms and cells and vanity
All our constituent parts
You can't make sparks without friction
Or music or love or nonfiction
That's just the price of admission
You can't ride the ride without wearing it out
Still locked in a box, try to hold your breath
Conserve what remains of the air that's left
If you don't breathe you'll smother yourself
But every inhale brings you closer to death
Chaos is going to win in the end
The universe is flying apart
There ain't nothing much you can do about it
Burn up the candle or live in the dark
Burn up the candle or live in the dark
Burn up the candle or live in the dark
Burn up the candle or live in the dark
