I know I promised if the ground shakes That it wouldn't be an earthquake But no train has left the station And no other explanation So now you're analyzing fault lines And convincing yourself of past lies Should I break our vow of silence And scream, "Get out of the basement" I know I promised we would never Have to talk about the weather Just to fill the air between us Never dreamed that we would need it But the lightning and the thunder Sometimes make me wonder If I should break our vow of silence And scream, "Get down to the basement" I can see the funnel right outside But I'm too tired to hide Yeah, I'm too tired to hide The funnel's right outside But I'm too tired to hide I excuse this one exception As emergency protection But now we're bored and underground Making noises for the background And our only entertainment Is staring at the foundation And wondering if that step crack Is something we created I can the the funnel right outside But I'm too tired to hide Yeah, I'm too tired to hide The funnel's right outside But I'm too tired to hide Was it something we created?
