[Verse 1] Sample one, quiet. Sample two, quiet. Three thousand meters of nothing and we brought it all up dry. Freeze it, crush it, set it on the bench, write the time down, walk away. [Verse 2] Fifty-five stayed quiet. Two did not. Nobody touched them. They just got hot. Past a hundred on their own, like they'd been waiting to be asked. [Pre-Chorus] I leaned in closer. I shouldn't have. [Break] [Chorus] Two out of fifty-seven woke up in the open air Two out of fifty-seven and I can't stop standing there The rest of them are stones but I keep counting back to two out of fifty-seven [Verse 3] Write it in the margin: nothing lit them but the sky. Every miner gets a warning now, every sample gets a lid. I should log it and move on, but I keep checking on the two. [Pre-Chorus] I leaned in closer. I shouldn't have. [Break] [Chorus] Two out of fifty-seven woke up in the open air Two out of fifty-seven and I can't stop standing there The rest of them are stones but I keep counting back to two out of fifty-seven [Bridge - static swells] What I know: it's marcasite and oxygen. What I still feel: they chose. What I know: it's only heat. What I still don't know is why I'm glad. [Final Chorus - half-time] Two out of fifty-seven woke up in the open air Two out of fifty-seven [Break] two out of fifty-seven
