lyrics

Used to be the stars were too far away
Used to be the world didn't have much to say
Coming in close and talking at the same time
Small mistake, terrible crime
Using up the air, trying to set yourself on fire
Everybody there pushing into one thin wire
But it's better than solid state

Never look small, but don't get too large
You gotta let go, or you won't stay in charge
Everything's fine, but nothing's really okay
It's all messed up, it's better that way
Everyone one you know, crooked little numbers game
Where you gonna go? Everywhere it's all the same
But it's better than solid state

Watch them rise and fall (one after another)
Don't forget to follow through
You learn after all (take care of each other)
Who it hurts and how it ends, how far it goes, it all depends on you

Used to be the world was too far away
Used to be the stars didn't have much to say
All this time, and everybody's still sad
We've still got whatever we had
Everything the same, rubbing up against your skin
Everything you planned, sinking as the tide comes in
But it's better than solid state
