"Nuclear Fission" lyrics

What do I get from you?
What do you get from me?
Does the labor of losing undermine everything?
The lines on your face and a penchant for song
I'll take them with me when you're gone
What do I keep of you?
What do I give away?
Is there some kind of wisdom to expect through the days?
Am I meant to believe them when they say time is good?
Time is water, rotting wood

So I stare as the earth starts to pitch
I swear I can see atoms split
Is there a me who doesn't feel like this
Somewhere?

While I might have a knack for the right thing to say
I so wish that it mattered at the end of the day
Am I meant to believe in the power of words?
Words are just a pain deferred

So I stare as the earth starts to pitch
I swear I can see atoms split
Is there a me who doesn't feel like this
Somewhere?
Somewhere?
Somewhere?
Somewhere?

I am a reactor
It's nuclear fission
Sudden bursts of laughter
Unrelated visions
Tears over my temples
Rainin' through the whole week
What do I get from you?
What do you get from me?

I stare as the earth starts to pitch
I swear I can see atoms split
Is there a me who doesn't feel like this
Somewhere?
Somewhere?
Somewhere?
