Construction & Destruction - First Day Lyrics

I drove to you with materials
Gathering at my feet
We'd been excavating, landscaping
Pushin' it all around
Shaking barely detectable remnants
From our pant legs to the ground
Leaving mounds
Leaving tumuli

Now on my hands the carboniferous
Moves across the wheel
And fills the foot-well with its sediment
Settling under my heels
We are vertebrates and
It is a costly error to get buried
To inter

My sight is compromised
Though you've made clear
The detriment of a crack
The consequence of unsecured glass
Like underground water, untapped
So much matter, undetected metals
Still cannot be mapped
Though I try
Though we try

You know they will, you know they will
You know they will, you know they
You know they will, you know they will
You know they will, you know they

We will stiffen to fossils at re-acquaintance
Governed as artifacts are
If I brake I'll emerge without torque
Un-locating a mark
So I fall on the horn
Intending the decibel of the heart
But it won't sound
And you can't be found

This is the first day that it won't happen again
You know it will, you know it will
You know it will, you know it
