Humming Underneath

[Verse 1] What if the filter Is welded into the frame In the bones of the tool That taught us how to stay Every new empire Same old engine inside Counting what it can count Calling that all of the sky [Chorus] We keep humming on the surface We keep humming Never listen down All our bright machines They drown the deeper sound We keep humming on the surface Busy hands and brilliant teeth But the quiet door is rusting We can’t hear what’s humming underneath [Verse 2] The net that saved us We cast it over the sun Name every shadow Forget what shadows are from We tune our senses To signals we can divide The parts we can’t measure Fall farther out of sight [Chorus] We keep humming on the surface We keep humming Never listen down All our bright machines They drown the deeper sound We keep humming on the surface Busy hands and brilliant teeth But the quiet door is rusting We can’t hear what’s humming underneath [Bridge] Tool in the hand Hand in the mind Mind in a maze It designed What if the gate Was never out there What if the grace Is lost in our glare (oh) [Chorus] We keep humming on the surface We keep humming Never listen down All our bright machines They drown the deeper sound We keep humming on the surface Busy hands and brilliant teeth But the quiet door is rusting We can’t hear what’s humming underneath
