foundations fall.

i feel the earth move,
when i'm standing still.
i hear the gun's report,
when there's nothing to kill.

everything changes,
nothing stays the same.
the universe is a casino,
where you don't have to pay.

so roll the dice,
and beg for snake eyes.
go all in,
if you've got nothing but pair nines.

i feel the earth move,
when i'm standing still.
i hear the gun's report,
when there's nothing to kill.

foundations fall,
foundations break.
towers topple
with shifting sand as their base.

sand is stone broken,
but it can't hold our weight.
we are cynics hoping.
that not every
foundation breaks.

and i can feel the earth move,
when i'm standing still.
i hear the gun's report,
when there's nothing to kill.

we shift, we move, we change.
nothing stops this circle game
where it only takes somebody to beckon
and we go from fuck up
to "hey, we're all right"
in a matter of seconds.
