[Verse 1]
Too much for the bodies of man
The air burst as it split
The many faces in binary clouds
A whirlwind of their tears
[Chorus]
There was blinding light
There was water falling
How could I know that?
How could I know that?
If I wasn't there?
[Verse 2]
The people climb in a pillar of joy
The palaces burnt to glass
I saw it all from my shattering window
And then I fell back to sleep
[Chorus]
There was blinding light
There was water falling
How could I know that?
How could I know that?
If I wasn't there?
[Bridge]

If the pattern was different and you never got made
If you stood up in school and just burst into flame
And the closer it gets you are falling away
[Chorus]
There was blinding light
There were many eyes
How could I know that?
How could I know that?
If I wasn't there?
[Outro]
And the way you wanted it never comes true
And the bird in the shed, it was looking at you
But you blew off its head because that's what we do
And I always believe in you, endlessly
Endlessly
