Something snapped, over the horizon
Something burst, over and over
Something burst, just out of sight
Like a rope on the border, over and over
Like a dam on the boundary, just out of sight
Over and over, just below the skyline
Over and over, just out of sight
Something broke, over and over
Something broke, over the way
Something dropped, over and over
Something dropped, just out of sight
Over and over, just below the skyline
Over and over, just out of sight
Over and under, under the sideline
Over and under, just out of sight
Over and over, just below the skyline
Over and over, just out of sight
Over and over, under the sideline
Over and under, just out of sight
Something snapped, over and over
Something snapped, over the horizon
Something dropped, over and over
Something dropped, just out of sight
Over and over, just below the skyline
Over and over, just out of sight
Over and over, under the sideline
Over and under, just out of sight
Like a rope on the border
Just out of sight
Like a damn on the boundary
Like a rope on the boundary
Like a rope on the border
Like a damn on the boundary
Like a damn on the boundary
Like a rope on the boundary
Like a rope on the border
Like a damn on the boundary
Like a damn on the boundary
Just out of sight, just out of sight
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over
