lyrics

If you listen really closely, you might hear
The imprint of the past in the density here:
Density of these concrete walls
Where Dreamer sleeps long after the fall

In the Dreamer's forest, he will step on stones,
In waking life they form the tomes
Foundations of industry, relics of bones
But the little one's eye is still drawn :

The sway of coral and the flick of a fin
In a lone aquarium
The sway of living coral and the flick of a tropical fin

Don't you know this metropolis was built
On the backs of dinosaurs and layers of silt?
We have turned this operation on itself
But the little one's eye is still drawn:

The sway of coral and the flick of a fin
In a lone aquarium
The sway of living coral and the flick of a tropical fin
