216.254.162.84: /* Verse 2 */

===Verse 1===

I put on my bowler hat and my best tweed jacket 
And I go to the lecture hall 
I'm a stuffy academic at a conference of professors 
And I fully mean to rock them all.

I've the notes for my talk and an abstract to boot 
Western Literature's the topic today 
As a counterpoint, I draw upon thermodynamic laws 
An original perspective, I should say 
It's something like

===Chorus===

Literature and thermodynamics 
Reflecting common themes 
Thermodynamic history 
And literary scenes 

Literature and thermodynamics 
Despite their different names 
From universe's start to end 
The song remains the same

===Verse 2===

The very first of literature concerns creation myths 
And I have to say, that stuff is pretty swell 
This swellness, if you will, continues through the Metaphysicals 
The last to feel a thought and think a feel.

After them, it goes to pot: the Restoration's got no soul 
And the Romantics only care about their angst 
The Modernists, however, have achieved the perfect balance 
'Cause they concentrate on dry, hard thangs. 
Let me hear it now!

===Bridge===

LITERATURE 
LITERATURE AND THERMODYNAMICS 
LITERATURE AND THERMODYNAMICS 
LITERATURE AND THERMODYNAMICS 
LITERATURE!

===Verse 3===

The second thermal law dictates the universal system 
Moves toward a state of equilibrium: 
Total entropy as heat's dispersed and meets its death 
Perfect balance, but for life, a zero-sum

So sometime before apocalypse, we humans can survive 
An ideal age, like Modernism now! 
But what of after this? The entropy of literature? 
What form will future writing take, and how?

All We Have Is Our Love

216.254.162.84: /* Chorus 3 */

===Verse 1===

The earth was gone 
In a blaze of colourful atomic activity 
Be it man or God 
Destruction was swift 

It won't be long 
Till our moon deviates from its normal trajectory 
With nothing to orbit 
Where shall we drift? 

===Chorus 1===

You say that love can conquer all 
I admit I've some doubts about those words 
Yet I desperately cling to them 
For I see there is no Earth 

And all we have is our love 

===Verse 2===

A tremor within 
And we watch in distress from our lunar colony 
Selene shakes free of 
Dead Gaia's yoke 

And the voyage begins 
And our fate's somewhat less certain than we'd prefer it be 
To burn with the sunrise 
Or in darkness to choke? 

===Chorus 2===

All the day long we face death 
Still you wear a stupid grin 
I want to punch it off your face 
When you say, to my chagrin 

That all we have is our love 

===Verse 3===

And the terror has waned 
But the sky is a cruel unspeaking eternity 
The silence of the cosmos 
Screams in my ears 

And we shall remain 
Though our souls decay in broken despondency 
Alone and vagrant 
Our love disappears 

===Chorus 3===

Your lies are tearing us apart 
Your soul is full of lies 
Your lies are devouring my heart 
You are the father of lies 

And now all we have is your lies

Something to Bleed

===Verse 1===

There's two cents in my pocket to clear away 
Can't find much, but it's what I've got to pay 
There's a nail stuck the floor here where I live 
I swear there was a bed here yesterday

And I don't know 
Where did it go

===Chorus===

I need something to stand on 
Something to land on 
Under my feet 
Yeah I need something to live for 
Something to give more 
Something to bleed 
Something to bleed 
Do you need 
Something to bleed

===Verse 2===

One day my best friend bought himself a gun 
Pressed it to his head to kill everyone 
Told my parents all my work was done 
They told me I'd only just begun

And I don't know 
Where does it go
