[Verse 1]
Would you listen when the wind decides to whisper English fate?
Will you heed the words within the winds that whisper "it's too late"?
Would you see the reasons falling from the sky?
Or the locusts screaming madly as you turn around and die?
Could you recognize some message to relate?

[Verse 2]
Have you felt the atmospheric friction churning up above?
All the traits and descriptions seem to fit just like a glove
Can you see us scratching backward through the seams?
Crawling circles on our back with our dumbfounded expertise
Just the thought of this is riddled with disеase

[Verse 3]
Can you see her moving slowly to the rhythm of this song?
Would you likе to tag along with us? I know it won't be long
Could she take us back to somewhere you desire?
Could she lead us to the doorway?
Would you sit down by the fire?
And would your eyes be sealed with love instead of hate?

[Verse 4]
Can you hear the empty chambers of your head begin to spin
Leaving nothing but the cavity for all the living skin?
Would you settle for the empty space within?
Or just kick and scream for something else to carry your thoughts in?
One foot before the other, let's begin
