Lyrics

    Yesterday was a million years ago
    In all my past lives I 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
