Why Does It Shake? - Protomartyr

False happiness is on the rise

See the victims piled high

In a room, without a roof

Sharp mind, eternal youth

I’ll be the first to never die

Nice thought, and I’m never gonna lose it

The city grows within my head

Street plans follow electric grids

Brick and steel house everything

I am the founder of myself

And I’m never gonna lose it

Never gonna lose it

On my eyes

Lithe in thought and pumping blood

Muscle, bone and ligament twined

Answer only to that point of light

Love its shine

And I’m never gonna lose it

From this throne see the curve of the earth

Turn around see it curve right back

History’s my backyard, eternity’s my reward

I have it all and all is mine

And I’m never gonna lose it

Never gonna lose it

Why does it shake?

The body

Why does it move?

The fear

Welcome the stranger

The stranger always wins

He enters the temple

It falls

It falls, it always falls

Why does it shake?

The body
