Slowly Melting Nomeansno

Our floating houses on molten granite
Our liquid planet, it is a home for us all
I'm firmly planted, my earth is solid
I feel a presence but there is nothing at all
I wanted something, down here is something
It's really something but there is nothing at all

Slowly melting, we're
Slowly melting, we're
Slowly melting, we're
Slowly melting

Seed to tree, earth to birth
We are surrounded, we flourish in the decay
We mark the seconds and count the hours
Cross off the days of what is slipping away
We start out loudly and go in circles
All things converging, we find an end to each day

Slowly melting, we're
Slowly melting, we're
Slowly melting, we're
Slowly melting
