Earth Lyrics - Sleeping At Last

i dig 'til my shovel tells a secret, 

swear to the earth that i will keep it, 

brush off the dirt 

and let my change of heart occur. 

sold soon after the appraisal, 

the hammer struck the auction table 

louder than anything i've ever heard. 

fault lines tremble underneath my glass house. 

but I put it out of my mind 

long enough to call it courage 

to live without a lifeline. 

i bend the definition 

of faith to exonerate my blind eye. 

"'til the sirens sound, i'm safe."

meanwhile, my family's taking shelter. 

the sparks send the fire down the wire, 

a countdown begins, 

until the dynamite gives in. 

the echo, as wide as the equator, 

travels through a world of built up anger- 

too late to pull itself together now. 

fault lines tremble underneath our glass house. 

but i put it out of my mind 

long enough to call it courage 

to live without a lifeline. 

i bend the definition 

of faith to exonerate my blind eye. 

"'til the sirens sound, i'm safe."

there was an earthquake. 

there was an avalanche of change. 

we were so afraid, 

we cried ourselves a hurricane. 

there were floods, 

tidal waves over us, 

so we folded our hands and prayed. 

like a domino, 

these wildfires grow and grow 

until a brand new world takes shape. 

fault lines tremble underneath our glass house. 

but i put it out of my mind 

long enough to call it courage 

to live without a lifeline. 

i bend the definition 

of faith to exonerate my blind eye. 

"'til the sirens sound, i'm safe."
