Tomorrow, in a Year
[Verse]
An intersection of the plain
By the bank of some great stream
The animal carcasses
And skeletons would be entombed
[Chorus]
Tomorrow in a year
Tomorrow in a million years
Tomorrow in a year
Ages resting inside the rings of a tree
Fossils in lay in slate
Marking the old forest’s edge
I’ve stood on a mountain
Dividing three regions
Then it was just a pebble
That I held inside my hand
In between each flap (Mountains fossils)
Of a butterfly’s wings (Mountains fossils)
Countless changes (Mountains fossils)
That have gone on unnoticed (Mountains fossils)
A cricket rubs it’s forewings (Mountains fossils)
Together and I am forced (Mountains fossils)
To think of the time that it’s taken (Mountains fossils)
To build (Mountains fossils)
Mountains fossils
Larva lava, Larva lava, Larva lava, Larva lava
Larva lava, Larva lava, Larva lava, Larva lava
Larva lava, Larva lava, Larva lava, Larva lava
Larva lava, Larva lava, Larva lava
As Algae moves through water
Cupping the soil
Ages move across epochs
Within my hands
There’s grandeur in this view
It teams with life
A constant succession
These endless forms
My heart beats 70
Times per minute
Larva lava, Larva lava, Larva lava, Larva lava
Stretching out over years
A wilderness
Layer on layer life embedded in stone
Stretching out before me
A wilderness
