10 4134 All That We Can be Sure of is Uncertainty

[Intro] [fingerpicked acoustic guitar, fretless bass enters] [Verse 1] [male vocals, breathy baritone] Your voice is flickering Like a hallway light before it dies Every phrase a measurement I keep the log behind my eyes We dance around our failures Like shards of glass across the floor You say it will be alright [piano chords enter] All I can hear is breaking more [Chorus] [female vocals enter, harmonizing] If it got even less stable We would at least have half-lifetime You and me like showers of particles Crashing through the lonely night We hold on to hollow blueprints So tight Till one of us cries If it got even less stable We would at least have half-lifetime [Instrumental Break] [melodic electric guitar solo with light overdrive and delay] [Verse 2] [male vocals] On the table lie the figures Unpaid bills and cold gray tea Our love's acting like an equation That suddenly just ceased to be [female vocals] You keep tracing circles with your spoon there Asks us since when are we this still I take measures in your gaze now And all I see is what just wants to spill [Chorus] [male and female vocals] If it got even less stable It would at least have a half-lifetime You and me like showers of particles Bursting through the lonely night We cling on to empty blueprints So tight Till one of us cries If it got even less stable We would at least have half-lifetime [Bridge] [male vocals in German] Vielleicht sind wir nur Versuch Ein schlecht betreuter Test Doch irgendwo im Zwischenraum Klammert sich noch etwas fest Und ich zähle bis zehn, bis hundert Doch das Zittern bleibt Alles, was wir sicher wissen, ist Dass wir nichts wissen [Outro] [full band, building intensity] All that we can be sure of is That we know nothing at all [female vocal ad-libs, high soprano] If it got even less stable We would at least have half-lifetime You and me like showers of particles Smashing through this void of mine We cling on to empty blueprints So tight Till one explodes in spite If it got even less stable We would at least have half-lifetime All that we can be sure of is That we know nothing at all [acoustic guitar fades out]
