Why Does It Shake? Songtext

von Protomartyr

False happiness is on the rise
See the victims piled high
In a room, without a roof

Sharp mind, eternal youth
I'll be the first to never die
Nice thought, and I'm never gonna lose it

The city grows within my head
Street plans follow electric grids
Brick and steel house everything

I am the founder of myself
And I'm never gonna lose it

Never gonna lose it On my eyes
Lithe in thought and pumping blood
Muscle, bone and ligament twined
Answer only to that point of light

Love its shine
And I'm never gonna lose it

From this throne see the curve of the earth
Turn around see it curve right back
History's my backyard, eternity's my reward

I have it all and all is mine
And I'm never gonna lose it

Never gonna lose it Why does it shake?
The body
Why does it move?
The fear

Welcome the stranger
The stranger always wins
He enters the temple
It falls
It falls, it always falls

Why does it shake?
The body
