This I know (This I know) This I know (This I know) I can't believe how much this place has changed Seems I was ill-prepared Different in ways not easy to explain But truth be told I'm scared I walked the streets electric The night revealed Crowds swarming disconnected 'Round exits sealed This I know (This I know) I can't stay here anymore (I can't stay here anymore) Amateur humans climb to reach the surface Fallen so far from grace Falling in line now that they've found a purpose Running their final race Sweet tones have turned to static My lucid dreams Once lush and cinematic Now ash and steam This I know (This I know) I can't stay here anymore (I can't stay here anymore) I can't stay here anymore (I can't stay here anymore) I can't stay here I can't stay here She came to my door in the morning Said what are we still doing here? I told her we could leave this town today I'm taking my dreams as a warning My thoughts are quite focused and clear I've got a plan to take us far away This I know I can't stay here anymore I can't stay here I'm booking a passage to Venus By way of the moons of Mars We'll slip the grip of earth and drift away No gravity coming between us Our only distraction the stars We'll live our lives in orbit come what may This I know I can't stay here anymore I can't stay here (This I know) I can't stay here
