So things seem stable
It's beginning to all make sense
But on the periodic table
Equilibrium ain't that dense
So you're top of every playbill?
You've been living as the main event
Live a life on red carpets
You can't be surprised when you ask where the rug went
When it's pulled out from under your feet
Fronting parades to confronting defeat
Dumped in the rain, unfamiliar streets
But there's nothing to gain by admitting you're beat
(Maybe it ain't quite as grim as it seems)
Don't get to choose the loose screws you inherit
(That's more than a face in the mirror you're seeing)
Together you've got the tools to repair it
Might just be a Lombax with a wrench
I was sat on the bench, now I'm back with a vengeance
Smashed my dimensions, so Ratchet's suggestion?
Mechanical emperors should cash their pensions (ha)
Graduate from the school of harder knocks
Than the grade A plates of my Carbonox
When I take straight aim with my blaster shots
The reports say rain with some parts of bots
When realities collide, it's appealing to think
There's green on the other side, well, you're wielding the Sprinkler
The world's what you make it, your fate's not ingrained
Every crack in the paint's still a piece of the picture
Every crack in the paint's still a piece of the picture
Look past the pieces and you'll see there's more adventure to seize
Don't believe it? Then you're thinking one-dimensionally
So this world is not the one that you intended to be?
Well, a Rivet's what you need when things might tear at the seams
It's your turn to revolt in every turn of the bolt
Take the world on your shoulders, then turn it to gold
When you've crashed into fragments of all that you know
Well, you're far from alone
We're just a rift apart
A rift apart
We're just a rift apart
A rift apart
So, it seems your outlook can be warped (wow)
Whole schemes cut off like some jean shorts (yeah)
Keep tracking 'em down and the heat source
Leads you to keen sword swings at machine sorts (hey)
Keep breathing, it's all gonna pass in a season (yeah)
Believe it, and call it a flash in the pan
And release it, let a thought stop with a dash
You'll leave it all looking real small in the past
A shatterbomb to your artwork (uh)
Can make it feel like your heart burst (ha)
It's hard to know what to start first
Each step becomes a departure (let's go)
And you may feel like a drifter (uh-huh)
Resist a place in the mixture (oh)
Is this a crack in the rift or (just)
Another piece of the picture?
Another piece of the picture?
Look past the pieces and you'll see there's more adventure to seize
Don't believe it? Then you're thinking one-dimensionally
So this world is not the one that you intended to be?
Well, a Rivet's what you need when things might tear at the seams
It's your turn to revolt in every turn of the bolt
Take the world on your shoulders, then turn it to gold
When you've crashed into fragments of all that you know
Well, you're far from alone
We're just a rift apart
A rift apart
We're just a rift apart
A rift apart
There's one thing rarer than Raritanium (ha)
That's a fate that don't seem alien
No matter how long you've been on that grind
Life soon finds ways of derailing
Any Infobot will say the same again (the truth)
If a legacy's planting seeds
You'd better believe I'm leaving these
Enemies in leaves and geraniums
And though chance may choose our canvas
Only we can paint the hues (haha)
But your flaws don't mean you're broken
They're just deeper shades of you
Combination of Sagan and Bob Ross
No mistakes when repainting the cosmos
If things seem grey, it's the start of a gradient
Can't make hay without raking the compost
Where dimensions fragment and the shards reconnect
You'll find you're not defined by the past they reflect
Leaving one world behind can be hard to expect
But you'll work out in time a new path in the next
When your reality cracks, it can feel like forever
Trapped in the gaps as the pieces are severed
If you feel you could lapse, all you need is a tether
To that team at your back, you can keep it together
Look past the pieces and you'll see there's more adventure to seize
Don't believe it? Then you're thinking one-dimensionally
So your world is on the brink of some Nefarious scheme?
Well, a Rivet's what you need when things might tear at the seams
It's your turn to revolt in every turn of the bolt
Take the world on your shoulders, then turn it to gold
When you've crashed into fragments of all that you know
Well, you're far from alone
We're just a rift apart
A rift apart
We're just a rift apart
A rift apart
And with every new world that unfurls you will find
There is more to your life than the one you designed
There is far more to fight for than what you are leaving behind
(A rift apart)
