[Verse 1]
A tired assertion
A sordid affair
The record repeating
With no one aware
(Oooooooh)
Does it scare?
[Verse 2]
Layered like an onion
Cut pole to pole
Left for the vultures
Out in the cold
(Oooooooh)
Is it old?
[Chorus]
Caught on a stand
Spotting the scene
Waters will rise
Drowning the sea
I fill my cup
But it's not enough
The tide is high
[Verse 3]
A casual observer
A room full of stares
A saddle that's never
Out of its lair
Stuck in a cycle
Foreign to most
Acidic environs
Sicken the host
(Oooooooh)
Far too close
[Chorus]
Stuck on a stand
Spotting the scene
Waters will rise
Drowning the sea
I fill my cup
But it's not enough
The end is nigh
[Outro]
Layered like an onion
Cut pole to pole
Left for the vultures
Out in the cold
(Oooooooh)
Is it old?
