== Lyrics ==
     Yesterday was a million years ago
     In all my past lives I've played an asshole
     Now I found you, it's almost too late
     And this earth seems obliviating
     We are trembling in our crutches
     High and dead our skin is glass
     I'm so empty here without you
     I crack and split my xerox hands
     
     I know it's the last day on earth
     We'll be together while the planet dies
     I know it's the last day on earth
     We'll never say goodbye
     
     The dogs slaughter each other softly
     Love burns its casualties
     We are damaged provider modules
     Spill the seeds at our children's feet
     I'm so empty here without you
     I know they want me dead
     
     I know it's the last day on earth
     We'll be together while the planet dies
     I know it's the last day on earth
     We'll never say goodbye
