Taken apart,
nuts and bolts separated,
Earth exploded in a breakaway view.

The essence of each piece of me
washed up on someone else's shore.


You at the heart of me,
I believe, I believe,
more than I ever knew,

we're ever new.

Fist-shaped hearts

keep time without a beat.
Thoughts propagating,
voicelessly we speak.

Molecules down to holes,
mass to empty space,
everything we ever were

will never be erased.

CHORUS


Solitary me,
monotonic we,

we're broken down now
but we'll be reconstructed.
Time collapses

as the minutes pass,
millennia and moments
all within our grasp.


CHORUS
The essence of each piece of me

washed up on someone else's shore
grown from the earth again as something new,
grown from the earth again as something new.


CHORUS


Sea and sky, earth and grass I am,
stone and brass, steel and glass I am,
roots and rubbish, blood and sand I am,

where does the end of me begin?

CHORUS
