The Week SEO Died

[Verse 1] I woke up to the numbers cold Like a pew with no one there My best page fell off the mountain And the whole town got a stare The links went thin as paper The clicks turned quiet as rain I held that dashboard in my hands And it called out my name [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I tried to keep it breathing Tried to pour in oil and wine But the hungry little engines Stopped singing on the line Then the hard truth rolled like thunder Through the bones inside my chest When the week SEO died, baby We had to lay it down to rest [Chorus] The week SEO died The week SEO died We lifted up our hands And we cried, we cried The week SEO died The week SEO died But mercy came on in And the light stayed bright [Verse 2] I saw old words lose their glory Saw fresh ones take the floor Saw a little blog in the back row Get up and shout for more Every title had a fever Every headline wore a crown But the ones with love and truth in them Kept bringing heaven down [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I tried to keep it breathing Tried to pour in oil and wine But the hungry little engines Stopped singing on the line Then the hard truth rolled like thunder Through the bones inside my chest When the week SEO died, baby We had to lay it down to rest [Chorus] The week SEO died The week SEO died We lifted up our hands And we cried, we cried The week SEO died The week SEO died But mercy came on in And the light stayed bright [Bridge] I heard a voice in the dark say "Child, don't worship the gate" If the road won't bring you mercy Then the road can change its shape So we sang with empty pockets And we clapped through the ache What was built on dust and panic Could not rise up and stay [Final Chorus] The week SEO died The week SEO died We lifted up our hands And we cried, we cried The week SEO died The week SEO died Now truth is on the rise And the soul survives
