Trial of the Golden Witch - Deadline lyrics

From where I'm perched up above the Earth I see it burning brightly, about to burst The fault lines begin to capsize And I realize that this time, this is the deadline From where I'm perched up above the Earth I see it burning brightly, about to burst The fault lines begin to capsize And I realize that this time, this is the deadline From where I'm perched up above the Earth I see it burning brightly, about to burst The fault lines begin to capsize And I realize that this time, this is the deadline From where I'm perched up above the Earth I see it burning brightly, about to burst The fault lines begin to capsize And I realize that this time, this is the deadline This is the Deadline From where I'm perched up above the Earth I see it burning brightly, about to burst The fault lines begin to capsize And I realize that this time, this is the deadline From where I'm perched up above the Earth I see it burning brightly, about to burst The fault lines begin to capsize And I realize that this time, this is the deadline I built a tower on the shakiest ground It's a round blue and brown ball wrapped in clouds And no matter how tall, how far from the bedrock I climb I can only see it falling in time I try to occupy my mind And to scrape up every ounce of solace I can find Without going snowblind or burning out my eyes To avert my gaze from all the cities ablaze And the haze of black smoke rising to my window every day Just how long can I live this way Before malaise rots my soul away And I haunt this Earth, a wraith, so dead and so gay?
