Radiant Songtext

von Everything Everything

I'm staring through the telescope hungry
I'm staring through the telescope at all, at all
I know, when every inch of matter is measured
And every force and element is known, is known

It's on, you're looking for whatever comes after
You're looking for a way to escape, to escape
It all, you're looking for a map with no markings
You having second thoughts about it all, it all

But I see a Geiger counter
And I see a Richter scale

Go!
Leave your homes!
Take whatever you can!
It's no joke!
It's coming towards you!

And you can make a difference so easy
You could make a difference, but you don't, you don't
I know, you never tell anything real now
You never have the time to watch it all, it all

I know, and everybody thinking of the same thing
And nobody is saying it you know, you know
It all, you skip a generation and find it
You skip a generation and oh, and oh

And I see a Geiger counter
And I see a Richter scale
And the truth is
The birth of a child
The sunlight, it's all I ever had

Go!
Leave your homes!
Take whatever you can!
It's no joke!
It's coming towards you!

Go!
Leave your homes!
Take whatever you can!
It's no joke!
It's coming towards you!

And I could make a difference so easy
And I could make a difference but I don't

Darling, I'm closing
