This Is Our Science Lyrics - This Is Our Science - Astronautalis

Touch fire, just to taste the truth 

Say ["You're gonna die young."] So are you 

We chase the lightning, 'cause we need to move 

This is our science, we've got nothing to prove 

Tell me where you're going with that knife in your hand, yeah 

Tell me what you're thinking, boy, what do you got planned? 

See I don't trust your smile, I know your daddy lets you run wild as the wind 

I saw you touch her eyelids and I can see you want so clearly to kiss her lips 

I got friend who walks the strip with a gun on his hip 

His reason is this: if people caught a glimpse they won't be talking shit 

And he can rest his heavy fists, he got hands to take teeth 

He don't need quarters to coax them from lips 

To you, this is as crazy as it gets 

To the man with the bruises on hands, it only makes sense, yeah 

And that's the way that he is [(tooth-taker)] 

And that's the way that I live 

I wasn't born in a boxcar, when I die bury me with crossed arms 

Underneath the tree up in the back yard 

Lip that coin in my pocket, yeah, it's a lost art 

Living what you're giving till it finally stops hearts 

When us good guys die, we hope those that survive 

Can spin a solid lie to make us look real hard 

'Cause we ain't tough, tell em Stef 

[(We just deal with whatever comes up)] 

This is for those who can't take a hint, find a hundred neighbors 

Ask if they could change their life, then what would they do different 

Would it be little shifts or would it be some hidden dream 

From the bitter deep that no one even knows exists 

To me it makes sense 

You can waste your time tossing blades of grass at the wind 

That you could swing fists and if it sinks ships 

Bury me at sea with my arms crossed and a smile upon my pink lips 

Tell me this, put up your fingertips 

If you're living your life exactly the way that you wished, yeah 

And for the rest of us with our hands on our hips 

Our work is never done, we are Sisyphus 

Tell me where you're going with that knife in your hand, yeah 

Tell me what you're thinking, boy, what do you got planned? 

I don't trust your smile, I know your daddy lets you run wild, wild as the wind 

I saw you touch her eyelids and I can see you want so clearly to kiss 

Kiss, kiss, kiss her lips 

Touch fire [(touch fire)] 

Just to taste the truth [(just to taste the truth)] 

Say ["You're gonna die young."] [(you're gonna die young)] 

So are you [(so are you)] 

We chase the lightning [(we chase the lightning)] 

'Cause we need to move [('cause we need to move)] 

This is our science [(this is our science)] 

We've got nothing to prove [(we've got nothing to prove)] 

So you touch fire [(touch fire)] 

Just to taste the truth [(just to taste the truth)] 

Say ["You're gonna die young."] [(you're gonna die young)] 

So are you [(so are you)] 

We chase the lightning [(we chase the lightning)] 

'Cause we need to move [('cause we need to move)] 

This is our science [(this is our science)] 

We've got nothing to prove [(we've got nothing to prove)]. 

Touch fire
