[Intro] (Instrumental) [Verse 1] School bell ringing, running through the rain Talking Miceverse all the way home again Homework first, then the headset glow Infinite mouses, places still to go Floating workshop in a painted sky Building bigger things than we should try Lightning fur and cheese-cannon dreams Nothing's ever dangerous as it seems [Pre-Chorus] Every world begins with someone's hand Every masterpiece begins unplanned One more slider, one more shining spark One more idea waiting in the dark [Chorus] Pulled apart We were reaching for the stars Never thought our own creation Would forget just who we are Pulled apart Block by block and piece by piece Now the ripples keep on spreading Long after we hit release [Verse 2] Dark grey circles, galaxies for fur Gravity effects with a cosmic blur Spirals winding round a vortex tail All the warning signs already starting to fail Black Hole Mouse spun slow and proud Like a storm still hidden in a cloud The darkness then began to rise Tiny constellations in his eyes Then the rumble underneath our feet Something in the code skipped a beat A cheese block rose into the air Like invisible fingers were pulling it there A tiny tree we built last week Twisted, turned and broke free Flying through the workshop light Disappearing into the endless night [Pre-Chorus] We laughed at first, then watched in fear As everything we'd placed drew near Every choice returning round In ways we'd never written down [Chorus] Pulled apart We were reaching for the stars Never thought our own creation Would pull apart the world we carved Pulled apart Platforms shaking underneath Every choice is connected To the future that it meets [Verse 3] The colours deepened, shadows grew Shapes bent into something new A warning flashed across the sky Gravity instability detected Cain was calling, then he wasn't there Turning into static in the air Crackling pixels, breaking seams Falling out of all our dreams Then the mouse looked down at us "Creators..." "You have built what can't be contained..." [Bridge] The horizon folded into itself Like a page torn out from a book on a shelf The workshop vanished in a burst of light Taking every boundary out of sight I reached for the log-out screen Nothing was where it should have been My hands unravelled thread by thread Golden light where skin had been Pulled apart Line by line Thought by thought Design by design [Breakdown] A ripple becomes a wave A wave becomes a storm And every storm remembers Exactly where it formed The things we make keep travelling on Long after we move along Every world inherits footprints Of the ones who came before [Final Chorus] Pulled apart By something which took shape You can't keep adding power Without adding weight Pulled apart By the echoes of our hands Every world remembers more Than its makers ever planned Pulled apart Now the stars are closing in And we're drifting through the darkness Of the mess we're standing in [Outro] Toasted cheese and strawberry skies Somewhere beyond the glitch we lie A world was broken by our hands Now we're the ones who have to make it right.
