[Verse 1: Garrison Lee]
You've been torn between opposing forces
The drag of this contingent event is unbearable because of these tectonics that shift beneath your feet
It is arrogant to disregard and foolish to turn away
An ignorant bliss does not exist in a reality that ceases to live
You are falling forward while falling back
Too adorned with blemishes that hide the facts
[Chorus: Garrison Lee]
This world around you is drifting, is drifting through an ocean that despises you
And the continent is not content with being connected
You're relative
Until torn and tattered, departed and disgraced
The life you contrive (you contrive) will have no place
[Verse 2: Garrison Lee]
Beget and begotten, your will erased
Its geography (its geography) has been razed
You are falling forward while falling back
Too adorned with blemishes that hide the facts
[Breakdown: Garrison Lee]
You've been torn between opposing forces
Until torn and tattered, departed and disgraced
The life you contrive will have no place
Until torn and tattered, departed and disgraced
The life you contrive (you contrive) will have no place
[Bridge: Garrison Lee]
Left with only soil beneath your fingernails from the potter's field
Six feet under lay the vaulted graves of bodies that didn't yield
[Chorus: Alan Rigdon & Garrison Lee]
This world around you is drifting through an ocean that despises you
And the continent is not content with being connected
You're relative, you're relative (You've been torn between opposing forces)
Six feet under lay the vaulted graves of bodies that did not yield
