"Dormant 'Til Explosion" lyrics

"Dormant 'Til Explosion"
(feat. Vanessa Briscoe Hay)

Combat the end with perpetual motion
Capturing sounds with a gentle emotion

Climb down from the precipice
Work out all the things you'd miss
You were an indecisive kid
And now you're trying to make up for it

Lawnmowers grumble, dust clings to the air
Work is never over, the scanners give you a scan
We're the unprotected, and we've come for our share

We are dormant 'til explosion
Without conflict, there's erosion
You are unfeeling, and, yes, I need it
Without rupture, there's no healing

You strained at the common leash
A world just beyond your reach

Commuters mumble, dust clings to the air
Did I reach my potential? And who exactly would care?
We're the unprotected, and we've come for our share

We are dormant 'til explosion
Without conflict, there's erosion
You are unfeeling, and, yes, I need it
Without rupture, there's no healing

In a world of confiscated feelings
All I see is my obscene acquisition
I am aiming for concision
But that isn't my decision

Oh! But it doesn't feel like it
Oh! And is it what I wanted now?
Oh! Is it my decision now?
Oh...

You climbed so high that you fell out the window
So accidental, but how would I know?
Combat the end with perpetual motion
Capturing sounds with a gentle emotion

You climbed so high that you fell out the window
So accidental, but how would I know?
Combat the end with perpetual motion
Capturing sounds with a gentle emotion

(You climbed so high that you fell out the window
So accidental, but how would I know?
Combat the end with perpetual motion
Capturing sounds with a gentle emotion

You climbed so high that you fell out the window
So accidental, but how would I know?)
