Slowly melting

Our floating houses, on molten granite

Our liquid planet

It is a home for us all

I'm firmly planted, my earth is solid

I feel a presence

But there is nothing at all

I wanted something, down here is something

It's really something

But there's nothing at all

Slowly melting

We're Slowly melting

Seed to tree, earth to birth

We are surrounded

We flourish in the decay

We mark the seconds and count the hours

Cross off the days

Of what is slipping away

We start out loudly and go in circles

All things converging

We find an end to each day

Slowly melting

We're Slowly melting

The sun is burning, the earth is turning

The earth is dying

It's slowly melting away

We start to finish, the fuel exhausted

And once I had it

But now it's passing away

If there is nothing, what is that presence?

I'm slowly melting

But what is slipping away?

Slowly melting

We're Slowly melting
