lyrics

Spin stuns the engine down on alligator road
Breathes rust, dust, bones, and knows the stall before repose
Holds catalyst in hand, retreats hypothesis to mind
Sun, folds the conjecture, Moon drops the line

Sun, folds the conjecture, Moon drops the line
Sun, folds the conjecture, Moon drops the line
Sun, folds the conjecture, Moon drops the line
Sun, folds the conjecture, Moon drops the line

Oh distant paradox confined, subdue this defect in time
Hold the mirror to the eye, help the particles align
Invoke the float a roaming stun entrenched to bleed
All trouble to the mountain wash down to the sea

All trouble to the mountain wash down to the sea
All trouble to the mountain wash down to the sea
All trouble to the mountain wash down to the sea
All trouble to the mountain wash down to the sea

My heart is boiling, I heat my design
I’m channeling convection, and I’m easily derived
I pulse, and I tumble, no concealing the ride
Making wake for the humble, laying high and defiant and
Now you know
Now you know
Now you know
Now you know
Now you know
Now you know
Now you know
Now you know
And it's easy
